Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6

1 Thessalonians 5:4-6. But ye, brethren, are not As formerly; in darkness In a state of gross ignorance respecting these and all other divine things; that that awful day Or the day of death, introductory thereto; should overtake you as a thief Should surprise you in an unprepared state. Ye are all children of the light and of the day Ye are blest with the bright day of the gospel, which gives you full information respecting these and all other matters that concern your salvation;... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

Those who are still alive (5:1-11)Paul had already told the Thessalonians that no one knows when Christ will return. He will come as unexpectedly as a thief. His intervention in the affairs of the world will be as sudden as birth pains. His return will smash the non-Christian’s sense of security with a destruction that none will escape (5:1-3). The life of the non-Christian is likened to a dark night of moral laziness and ill-discipline. The life of the Christian is likened to a bright day of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:5

for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;These Johannine metaphors were known and used by all of the apostles. The uses of "sons" in such a metaphor "indicate close connection or a resemblance, and are a Hebrew idiom."[13] Thus, `Son of God' identified Jesus Christ as having the same nature of God and as existing on an equality with God.Sons of the day ... means nearly the same as "sons of light," except, as Morris said, "It refers back to 'the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:5

1 Thessalonians 5:5. Ye are all the children of light,— Having compared our Lord's sudden and unexpected appearance to the coming of a thief in the night, he takes up the comparison again, 1Th 5:4 and pursues it to 1Th 5:10 calling holy and righteous men the children of the day, and of the light, and idolatrous and wicked persons, ignorant of the truth, children of the night, and of darkness. This comparison is frequently touched upon in the Holy Scriptures, as well as in the heathen poets,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:5

5. The oldest manuscripts read, "FOR ye are all," c. 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... read more

C. Personal watchfulness 5:1-11In view of the imminency of Christ’s return Paul exhorted the Thessalonians to be ready to meet the Lord at any time."The former [paragraph, i.e., 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18] offered instruction concerning the dead in Christ; this [paragraph] gives a word of needed exhortation to the living." [Note: Hiebert, p. 207.] Other contrasts between these passages are the Rapture and the day of the Lord, and resurrection and judgment.This pericope deals with the time of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6

The Thessalonians were not ignorant of these events since Jesus and Paul had revealed them (cf. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). In both Semitic and Greek thought, to be described as a "son" of something was to be characterized by that thing. [Note: Morris, The First . . ., p. 156.] In this case what characterized the Thessalonians was the light (in contrast to darkness) and day (in contrast to night). They were not walking in wickedness either. God had removed the Thessalonians from Satan’s kingdom... read more
