"For when they will say, “Peace and security!” then destruction will suddenly overwhelm them, like the labor pains of a woman with child, and they will not escape. "
— 1 Thessalonians 5:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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.”
“When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape. ”
“For when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape.”
“Now when they are saying,“There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will surely not escape.”
“For when they shall say: Peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.”
“When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.”
“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.”
But concerning dates and times, brothers, you do not need us to write to you.
For you yourselves thoroughly understand that the day of the Lord shall arrive much like a thief in the night.
For when they will say, “Peace and security!” then destruction will suddenly overwhelm them, like the labor pains of a woman with child, and they will not escape.
But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that you would be overtaken by that day as by a thief.
For all of you are sons of light and sons of daytime; we are not of nighttime, nor of darkness.
Therefore, let us not sleep, as the rest do. Instead, we should be vigilant and sober.
