1 Thessalonians 5:6

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;

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

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

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

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

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

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

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

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.

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

His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

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

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

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
