# what you have received and heard
This refers to God's word, which they believed. Alternate translation: "God's word that you heard and the truth that you believed" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
# if you do not wake up
Being alert to danger is spoken of as waking up. See how you translated "wake up" on [Revelation 3:2](../03/02.md). Alternate translation: "If you are not alert" or "If you are not careful" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# I will come as a thief
Jesus will come at a time when people do not expect him, just as a thief comes when not expected. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
