⁹ How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

³³ `Yet' a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep;

³⁴ So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.

⁸ Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?

²² How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?

¹⁴ O Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thine evil thoughts lodge within thee?

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.

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

² For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

³ When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.

⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:

⁵ for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;

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

⁷ For they that sleep sleep in the night: and they that are drunken are drunken in the night.

⁶ There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
