1 Thessalonians 5:4 — Community Reflections

1 THESSALONIANS 5:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1

“But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.”

But you, brothers, are not in darkness, for that day to surprise you like a thief — the Thessalonians are 'not in darkness' (ouk en skotei); they are children of light. The 'day' will not surprise them 'like a thief' because they are vigilant. Status in Christ determines relationship to the parousia.
