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.

6 Por tanto, no durmamos como los demás; antes velemos y seamos sobrios.
