Take heed to yourselves, least at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of life, and so that day should come upon you unawares:

The kingdom

and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand:

Another parable propounded He unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man, who sowed good grain in his ground:

For the gospel-kingdom is like the master of a family, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard:

saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding-feast for his son;

Ten

Now I commend you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins: these are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth: these were redeemed from among men, as the first-fruits unto God and the Lamb.

Which

So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father, who is in heaven.

Let your loins be girt, and your lights burning, and

that ye may be blameless and inoffensive, the children of God without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom ye shine as lights in the world,

Went

As to what remains, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me in that day: and not to me only, but also to all those who have longed for his appearance.

looking for the blessed hope, and glorious appearance of the great God, and our Saviour, Jesus Christ:

And I think it my duty, while I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by way of remembrance:

The bridegroom

And Jesus said unto them, Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, while the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast.

saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding-feast for his son;

And Jesus said unto them, Can the bridemen fast, when the bridegroom is with them? while the bridegroom is with them, they cannot fast:

And He said unto them, Can ye make those of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with great joy at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore my joy is complete.

For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy, having espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave up Himself for it:

Let us rejoice and exult and give glory to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

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