1 Thessalonians 5:3
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
In context
1 Now about the times and seasons, brothers, we do not need to write to you.
2 For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
3 While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4 But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.
5 For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
