Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need of anything to be written to you.

Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:4 - But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you [fn]like a thief,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:5 - for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:6 - so then let us not sleep as [fn]others do, but let us be awake and [fn]sober.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:7 - For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
