Take care, keep watch with prayer: for you are not certain when the time will be.
Keep watch, then, because you are not certain of the day or of the hour.
But take care; see, I have made all things clear to you before the time.
So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not give thought to the flesh to do its desires.
Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.
With prayers and deep desires, making requests at all times in the Spirit, and keeping watch, with strong purpose, in prayer for all the saints,
Give yourselves to prayer at all times, keeping watch with praise;
Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;
But the end of all things is near: so be serious in your behaviour and keep on the watch with prayer;
Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;
See, I come as a thief. Happy is he who is watching and keeps his robes, so that he may not go unclothed, and his shame be seen.
Be on the watch, and make strong the rest of the things which are near to death; because as judged by me your works have not come up to God's measure.
