⁶ so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.

¹³ Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

¹¹ And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we `first' believed.

¹² The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

¹³ Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.

¹⁴ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to `fulfil' the lusts `thereof'.

⁴⁶ and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴² Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh.

⁸ Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,

¹⁵ (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walked naked, and they see his shame.)

² Continue stedfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;

⁸ But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

⁹ In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;

¹⁵ but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.

² The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

¹¹ Women in like manner `must be' grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

⁵ But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry.

⁶ the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:

¹² instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;

⁷ But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:

² Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God.

⁵ Let your forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

¹⁸ with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,

¹⁴ Wherefore `he' saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.

¹⁰ His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.

⁶ So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.

²⁵ but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.

⁵ Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

¹³ Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.

³⁸ Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me.

⁴⁰ And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

³⁴ `It is' as `when' a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch.

³⁵ Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning;

³⁷ And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

³⁷ And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest thou not watch one hour?

³⁸ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

³⁷ Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.

³⁹ But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through.

³⁶ But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

³¹ Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.

³⁴ Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak `this' to move you to shame.

¹³ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

¹⁵ Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
