But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed.
Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; keep it, and repent. But if you are not alert, I will come like a thief, and you have no idea at what hour I will come against you.
But know this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.You also be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.”
Therefore be alert, since you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.But know this: If the homeowner had known what time the thief was coming, he would have stayed alert and not let his house be broken into.This is why you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
It is like a man on a journey, who left his house, gave authority to his slaves, gave each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to be alert.Therefore be alert, since you don’t know when the master of the house is coming— whether in the evening or at midnight or at the crowing of the rooster or early in the morning.
