But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be burdened with luxury, and drunkenness, and worldly cares, and that day may come on you unanticipated.

The kingdom

saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand.

He put forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man sowing good seed in his field.

For the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a landlord man, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

The kingdom of the heavens is like a king-man, who made a marriage for his son.

Ten

But I praise you because you remember me in all things, and hold fast the commandments, as I delivered them unto you.

These are they who have not been defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever he may go. They have been redeemed from men, the first fruit unto God and the Lamb.

Which

Let your light so shine before the people, in order that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

Let your loins be girted, and your lamps burning;

in order that you may be blameless and pure, the children of God, irreproachable, amid a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

Went

finally there is a crown of righteousness laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me in that day: not only to me, but to all those who with divine love, do love his appearing.

looking for the blessed hope even the appearing of the glory of our great God and our Saviour Christ Jesus;

But I consider it righteous, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by remembrance;

looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements being scorched up are melted?

The bridegroom

And Jesus said to them, The sons of the bride-chamber are not able to fast, so long as the bridegroom is with them. But the day will come, when the bride-groom must be taken from them, and then they will fast.

The kingdom of the heavens is like a king-man, who made a marriage for his son.

And Jesus said to them, Whether are the sons of the bride-chamber able to fast while the bridegroom is with them? So long a time as they have with them the bridegroom they are not able to fast.

And He said to them, Whether are you able to make the sons of the bridechamber to fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

The one having the bride is the Bridegroom: but the friend of the Bridegroom is the one standing and hearing him, rejoiceth with joy on account of the Bridegroom: This, my joy has been made complete.

For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God: for I espoused you to one husband, to present you a pure virgin to Christ;

Husbands, love your wives with divine love, as Christ also loved the church with divine love, and gave himself for her;

Let us rejoice and be glad, and give glory to him! because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready.

And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride is adorned for her husband.
