1 Peter 4:7

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

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

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

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

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

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hinder...

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
