Watch therefore, for you do not know in what hour your Lord is coming.

Therefore you also be ready, for in that hour you think not, the Son of Man comes.

"Watch therefore, for you do not know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. Indeed the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Take heed, stay awake and pray; for you do not know when the time is.

Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming--at evening, or at midnight, or at dawn, or early in the morning--

And the things I say to you, I say to all: watch!"

Then He came and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not strong [enough] to watch one hour?

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. Indeed the spirit is eager, but the flesh is weak."

"Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning;

Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly I say to you, that he will gird himself and have them recline [to eat], and he will come and serve them.

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have kept watch, and not allowed his house to be broken into.

Watch therefore, praying always that you may be counted worthy to escape everything that is about to happen, and to stand before the Son of Man."

through every prayer and petition, praying in every season in the Spirit, being watchful to this same thing with all perseverance and petition concerning all the saints--

Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;

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

You however be watchful in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Now the end of all things is at hand; therefore be of sound mind and self-controlled in your prayers.

Be sober, be watchful; your adversary the devil walks about as a roaring lion, seeking someone he may devour.

Be watchful, and keep that which remains, which you were about to cast out, for I have not found your works perfect before My God.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you like a thief, and by no means shall you know what hour I will come upon you.

Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and guards his garments, lest he should walk naked and they should see his shame."

Now I made known to you, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,

through which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.

So then, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Not that we lord it over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for by faith you stand.

Stand fast therefore in the freedom in which Christ has made us free, and do not be loaded down again with a yoke of bondage.

Only conduct yourselves worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,

Therefore, my beloved and longed for brothers, my joy and crown, in this way stand fast in the Lord, beloved.

if indeed you continue in the faith, having been founded and firm and not drifting away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was proclaimed to all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Epaphras greets you, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, always struggling for you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and complete in all the will of God.

Because now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

So then, brothers, stand fast and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our letter.

And everyone who competes exercises self-control [in] all things. Now they [compete] in order that they may receive a perishable crown, but we [compete] [for] an imperishable crown.

But I treat my body roughly, and I bring it into subjection, lest, having preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

Brothers, do not be children in your understanding; rather, in malice be children, but in understanding be men.

Strengthen yourselves and behave yourselves like men, O you Philistines, that you may not serve the Hebrews as they have served us, but be men, and fight with them!

Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, and the Lord shall do that which is good in His eyes.

Be of good courage, and let us be strong, for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the Lord shall do what [is] good in His eyes.

Because of this, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having accomplished all things, to stand.

and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold of eternal life, to which you were called and have confessed the good confession before many witnesses.

You therefore endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

And what more should I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, both Barak and Samson and Jephthah, both David and Samuel and the prophets:

quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in battle, turned to flight the armies of foreigners.

Be strong and of good courage, for you shall divide the land to this people, which I swore to give to your fathers.

Be strong, therefore, and very courageous, to observe and do as Moses My servant commanded you; and you shall not turn from there to the right hand or to the left, that you may be wise in whatsoever you may do.

Behold, I have commanded you; be strong and courageous, be not cowardly nor fearful, for the Lord your God is with you in all places in which you go.

And whoever shall disobey you, and whoever shall not hearken to your words as you shall command him, let him die; but be strong and courageous.

but be strong, and show yourself a man;

See now, for the Lord has chosen you to build Him a house for a sanctuary; be strong and do [it].

Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened; yea, wait on the Lord!

Comfort one another, you fainthearted; be strong, fear not; behold, our God renders judgment, and He will render [it]; He will come and save us.

and said to me, Fear not, man greatly beloved: peace be to you, gird yourself like a man, and be strong. And when he had spoken with me, I received strength, and said, Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.

And the transgressors shall bring about a covenant by deceitful ways; but a people knowing their God shall prevail, and do [valiantly.]

[ 2:5] Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; and strengthen yourself, O Joshua the high priest, the son of Jehozadak; and let all the people of the land strengthen themselves, says the Lord, and work, for I am with you, say the Lord Almighty;

Thus says the Lord Almighty; Let your hands be strong, [you that] hear in these days these words out of the mouth of the prophets, from the day that the house of the Lord Almighty was founded, and from the time that the temple was built.

And it shall come to pass, as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing: be of good courage, and strengthen your hands.

And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in calamities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For whenever I am weak, then I am strong.

Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

being strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, for all endurance and longsuffering with joy;

giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.

You therefore, my child, be empowered by the grace which is in Christ Jesus.
