of the
times

brethren, ye
have
no
need that I
write unto
you.

yourselves
know
perfectly
that the
day of the
Lord
so
cometh
as a
thief
in the
night.

For
when they shall
say,
Peace
and
safety;
then
sudden
destruction cometh
upon
them,
as
travail
upon a woman with
child
*;
and they
shall
not
escape.

ye,
brethren,
are
not
in
darkness,
that that
day should
overtake
you
as a
thief.

are
all the
children of
light,

children of the
day: we
are

darkness.

let
us
not
sleep,
as
do

sleep
sleep in the
night;
and they that be
drunken are
drunken in the
night.

let
us, who
are of the
day, be
sober, putting
on the
breastplate of
faith
and
love;

helmet, the
hope of
salvation.

hath
not

us
to
wrath,

obtain
salvation

for
us,
