“So stay awake, because you don’t know the day or the hour.
His master will return unexpectedly.
“But he answered them, ‘I don’t even know who you are!’
Be alert at all times. Pray so that you have the power to escape everything that is about to happen and to stand in front of the Son of Man.”
So be alert! Remember that I instructed each of you for three years, day and night, at times with tears in my eyes.
Be alert. Be firm in the Christian faith. Be courageous and strong.
Therefore, we must not fall asleep like other people, but we must stay awake and be sober.
But you must keep a clear head in everything. Endure suffering. Do the work of a missionary. Devote yourself completely to your work.
The end of everything is near. Therefore, practice self-control, and keep your minds clear so that you can pray.
Keep your mind clear, and be alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion as he looks for someone to devour.
“See, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who remains alert and doesn’t lose his clothes. He will not have to go naked and let others see his shame.”
