“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.
“Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.”
Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.
But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
“But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
