1 EMPERO acerca de los tiempos y de los momentos, no tenéis, hermanos, necesidad de que yo os escriba:
2 Porque vosotros sabéis bien, que el día del Señor vendrá así como ladrón de noche,
3 Que cuando dirán, Paz y seguridad, entonces vendrá sobre ellos destrucción de repente, como los dolores á la mujer preñada; y no escaparán.
4 Mas vosotros, hermanos, no estáis en tinieblas, para que aquel día os sobrecoja como ladrón;
5 Porque todos vosotros sois hijos de luz, é hijos del día; no somos de la noche, ni de las tinieblas.
