1 THESSALONIANS 5:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
While people are saying, 'There is peace and security,' then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape — the false confidence ('peace and security') of those outside Christ masks reality; destruction (olethros) is imminent. 'As labor pains' (hōsper ōdin) suggests intensifying, inescapable judgment. The saved and unsaved face radically different futures.
