While they say "Peace"

http://www.hometownannapolis.com/cgi-bin/read/2007/11_26-12/TOP

1 Thessalonians 5:3 (New American Standard Bible)
3While they are saying, "(A)Peace and safety!" then (B)destruction will come upon them suddenly like (C)labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

More context:

The Day of the Lord

1Now as to the (A)times and the epochs, brethren, you (B)have no need of anything to be written to you.
2For you yourselves know full well that (C)the day of the Lord will come (D)just like a thief in the night.
3While they are saying, "(E)Peace and safety!" then (F)destruction will come upon them suddenly like (G)labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.
4But you, brethren, are not in (H)darkness, that the day would overtake you (I)like a thief;
5for you are all (J)sons of light and sons of day We are not of night nor of (K)darkness;
6so then let us not (L)sleep as (M)others do, but let us be alert and [a](N)sober.

Blessings,

Tony
