5:1 ¶ But 1161 of 4012 the x3588 times 5550 and 2532 the x3588 seasons, 2540 brethren, 80 yee haue 2192 z5719 no 3756 need 5532 that I write 1125 z5745 vnto you. 5213

5:2 For 1063 your selues 846 knowe 1492 z5758 perfectly 199 that 3754 the x3588 day 2250 of the Lord 2962 so 3779 commeth 2064 z5736 as 5613 a thiefe 2812 in 1722 the night. 3571

5:3 For 1063 when 3752 they shal say, 3004 z5725 Peace 1515 and 2532 safety: 803 then 5119 sudden 160 destructio 3639 commeth vpon 2186 z5731 them, 846 as 5618 trauaile 5604 vpon y1722 a woman with childe, 1064 2192 z5723 x1722 and 2532 they shall y1628 z0 not 3364 escape. 1628 z5632

5:5 Yee 5210 are 2075 z5748 all 3956 the children 5207 of light, 5457 and 2532 the children 5207 of the day: 2250 we are 2070 z5748 not 3756 of the night, 3571 nor 3761 of darkenesse. 4655

5:6 Therefore 686 3767 let vs y2518 z0 not 3361 sleepe, 2518 z5725 as 5613 y2532 [doe] x2532 others: 3062 but 235 let vs watch 1127 z5725 and 2532 be sober. 3525 z5725

5:7 For 1063 they that sleepe, 2518 z5723 sleepe 2518 z5719 in the night, 3571 and 2532 they that bee drunken, 3182 z5746 are drunken 3184 z5719 in the night. 3571
