ἄρα οὖν μὴ καθεύδωμεν ὡς καὶ οἱ λοιποί ἀλλὰ γρηγορῶμεν καὶ νήφωμεν
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Γρηγορεῖτε οὖν ὅτι οὐκ οἴδατε τὴν ἡμέραν οὐδὲ τὴν ὥραν ἐν ᾗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ὑμεῖς γίνεσθε ἕτοιμοι· ὅτι ᾗ ὥρᾳ οὐ δοκεῖτε ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Καὶ τοῦτο εἰδότες τὸν καιρόν ὅτι ὥρα ἡμᾶς ἤδη ἐξ ὕπνου ἐγερθῆναι νῦν γὰρ ἐγγύτερον ἡμῶν ἡ σωτηρία ἢ ὅτε ἐπιστεύσαμεν
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
προσδοκῶντας καὶ σπεύδοντας τὴν παρουσίαν τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμέρας δι' ἣν οὐρανοὶ πυρούμενοι λυθήσονται καὶ στοιχεῖα καυσούμενα τήκεται
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
χαίρωμεν καὶ ἀγαλλιῶμεθα καὶ δῶμεν τὴν δόξαν αὐτῷ ὅτι ἦλθεν ὁ γάμος τοῦ ἀρνίου καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἡτοίμασεν ἑαυτήν
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made ready. herself
γρηγορεῖτε οὖν ὅτι οὐκ οἴδατε ποίᾳ ὥρᾳ ὁ κύριος ὑμῶν ἔρχεται

βλέπετε ἀγρυπνεῖτε καὶ προσεύχεσθε· οὐκ οἴδατε γὰρ πότε ὁ καιρός ἐστιν
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
ἀλλ' ἐνδύσασθε τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν καὶ τῆς σαρκὸς πρόνοιαν μὴ ποιεῖσθε εἰς ἐπιθυμίας
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Προσέχετε δὲ ἑαυτοῖς μήποτε βαρυνθῶσιν ὑμῶν αἱ καρδίαι ἐν κραιπάλῃ καὶ μέθῃ καὶ μερίμναις βιωτικαῖς καὶ αἰφνίδιος ἐφ' ὑμᾶς ἐπιστῇ ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
