1. But concerning the ittim (times) and the zmanim (seasons), Chaverim, you have no need for you to have anything in writing.
2. For you yourselves know very well that the Yom Hashem comes like a ganav balailah (thief in the night).
3. Whenever they say, "Shalom and Bitachon!" then sudden churban (destruction) will come upon them like the chevlei leydah (birth pangs) of the isha with a baby in her womb. And they can certainly not escape.
4. But you, Achim b'Moshiach, are not in choshech that the Yom should overtake you like a ganav.
5. For all of you are Bnei Ohr and Bnei Yom; we are not of the Lailah nor of the Choshech.
