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.

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

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

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.

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 to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

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

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;
