And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
