1 Thessalonians 5:4 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 5

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.

6 Portanto, não durmamos, como os outros; em vez disso, vigiemos e sejamos sóbrios.
