1 Thessalonians 5:5
_ _ The oldest manuscripts read, “FOR ye are all,” etc. Ye have no reason for fear, or for being taken by surprise, by the coming of the day of the Lord: “For ye are all sons (so the Greek) of light and sons of day”; a Hebrew idiom, implying that as sons resemble their fathers, so you are in character light (intellectually and morally illuminated in a spiritual point of view), Luke 16:8; John 12:36.
_ _ are not of — that is, belong not to night nor darkness. The change of person from “ye” to “we” implies this: Ye are sons of light because ye are Christians; and we, Christians, are not of night nor darkness. |
