Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord comes.

Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man comes at an hour you do not expect.

Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.

But if that wicked servant says in his heart, My master delays his coming,

the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not expecting him and in an hour he does not know,

But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with giddiness, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come upon you unexpectedly.

Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of Heaven has drawn near!

Another parable He put forth to them, saying: The kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;

Another parable He put forth to them, saying: The kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field,

The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.

Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field.

Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,

Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind,

For the kingdom of Heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

The kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who made a wedding feast for his son,

And in the days of these kings, the God of Heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall not be left to other people. It shall break in pieces and bring all these kingdoms to an end, and it shall stand forever.

She shall be brought to the King in clothing of needlework; the virgins, her companions who follow, shall be brought to You.

Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, your name is ointment poured forth; therefore the virgins love you.

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem: If you find my beloved, that you tell him I am lovesick!

His mouth is most sweet. Yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Daughters of Jerusalem: Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned aside, that we may seek him with you?

There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.

But my dove, my perfect one, is the one, the only one of her mother, the pure of the one who bore her. The daughters saw her and called her blessed, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the decrees just as I delivered them to you.

These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He leads. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

Let your light so shine before men, so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.

Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning;

and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.

that you may be blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

holding fast the Word of Life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

Hereafter, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all the ones loving His appearing.

looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up with reminders,

Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my departure.

looking for and earnestly hastening unto the coming of the Day of God, through which the heavens will be dissolved, being set on fire, and the elements will melt with intense burning?

Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

The kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who made a wedding feast for his son,

Kings' daughters are among Your precious ones; on Your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

Thus the King shall greatly long for your beauty, for He is your Lord; bow down before Him.

For your Maker is your husband; Jehovah of Hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. He shall be called, GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH.

You shall no more be called Forsaken; nor shall your land any more be called Desolate; but you shall be called My Delight Is In Her, and your land, Married; for Jehovah delights in you, and your land is married.

For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so will your God rejoice over you.

And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.

But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.

And He said to them, Can you make the sons of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them?

But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

For this, a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.

Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.

And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.
