Watch! Don't Sleep!
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
Skip Heitzig
1 Thessalonians 5 (NKJV™) | |
1 | But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. |
2 | For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. |
3 | For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. |
4 | But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. |
5 | You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. |
6 | Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. |
7 | For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. |
8 | But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. |
9 | For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, |
10 | who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. |
11 | Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. |
