Preparation for the Day of the Lord

1

And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you,

2

for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come,

3

for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail doth her who is with child, and they shall not escape;

4

and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief;

5

all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness,

6

so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,

7

for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,

8

and we, being of the day--let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet--a hope of salvation,

9

because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

10

who did die for us, that whether we wake--whether we sleep--together with him we may live;

11

wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do.
