⁴⁴ Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

¹⁹ And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

⁴⁰ Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

¹³ Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

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

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