Then He spoke a parable to them, that one must always pray and not lose heart,

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."

rejoicing in hope, enduring in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;

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;

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