Jesus answered, “Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error].

Jesus began to say to them, “Be careful and see to it that no one misleads you.

He said, “Be careful and see to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name [appropriating for themselves the name Messiah which belongs to Me alone], saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near!’ Do not follow them.

See to it that no one falls short of God’s grace; that no root of resentment springs up and causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

I am coming quickly. Hold tight what you have, so that no one will take your crown [by leading you to renounce the faith].

That we lose

Have you suffered so many things and experienced so much all for nothing—if indeed it was all for nothing?

I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored [to the point of exhaustion] over you in vain.

so that you may prove yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish in the midst of a [morally] crooked and [spiritually] perverted generation, among whom you are seen as bright lights [beacons shining out clearly] in the world [of darkness],

Only let us stay true to what we have already attained.

But remember the earlier days, when, after being [spiritually] enlightened, you [patiently] endured a great conflict of sufferings,

I am coming quickly. Hold tight what you have, so that no one will take your crown [by leading you to renounce the faith].

That we receive

Those who are [spiritually] wise will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead many to righteousness, [will shine] like the stars forever and ever.

Already the reaper is receiving his wages and he is gathering fruit for eternal life; so that he who plants and he who reaps may rejoice together.

He who plants and he who waters are one [in importance and esteem, working toward the same purpose]; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

and last of all, as to one untimely (prematurely, traumatically) born, He appeared to me also.
