1 Thessalonians 5:3 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 5
1 Pour ce qui est des temps et des moments, vous n’avez pas besoin, frères, qu’on vous en écrive.
2 Car vous savez bien vous-mêmes que le jour du Seigneur viendra comme un voleur dans la nuit.
3 Quand les hommes diront: Paix et sûreté! Alors une ruine soudaine les surprendra, comme les douleurs de l’enfantement surprennent la femme enceinte, et ils n’échapperont point.
4 Mais vous, frères, vous n’êtes pas dans les ténèbres, pour que ce jour vous surprenne comme un voleur;
5 vous êtes tous des enfants de la lumière et des enfants du jour. Nous ne sommes point de la nuit ni des ténèbres.
