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

⁶Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

²¹Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

¹⁶Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

⁵But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

¹Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

¹²Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

¹⁵Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

¹³Wherefore 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;

¹⁷And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

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

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

¹⁹We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

¹⁷Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

¹⁸We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

⁸Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

²Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

³Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

¹¹Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

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