But the end of all things is near: so be serious in your behaviour and keep on the watch with prayer;

Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

But give attention to yourselves, for fear that your hearts become over-full of the pleasures of food and wine, and the cares of this life, and that day may come on you suddenly, and take you as in a net:

With right behaviour as in the day; not in pleasure-making and drinking, not in bad company and unclean behaviour, not in fighting and envy.

So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake.

And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you,

So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.

For the grace of God has come, giving salvation to all men,

So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

So do not give up your hope which will be greatly rewarded.
