Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.

Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and roused me, as a man who is awakened from his sleep.

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

“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

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