1 Thessalonians 5:4
“But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.”
Verse in context — 1 Thessalonians 5
2
For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
3
For when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape.
4
But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
5
You are all children of light, and children of the day. We don't belong to the night, nor to darkness,
6
so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let's watch and be sober.
