1 Thessalonians 5:3 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 5
1 Mas irmãos, acerca dos tempos e das estações, não necessitais de que eu vos escreva;
2 pois vós mesmos bem sabeis que o dia do Senhor virá como um ladrão de noite.
3 Pois quando disserem: “Paz e segurança”, então virá sobre eles repentina destruição, como as dores de parto da grávida, e de maneira nenhuma escaparão.
4 Mas vós, irmãos, não estais em trevas, para que aquele dia vos tome de surpresa como um ladrão.
5 Todos vós sois filhos da luz e filhos do dia; não somos da noite nem das trevas.
