that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,

sober, pure, keepers of their own houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

Wherefore having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, hope perfectly upon the grace that is being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

And of all things the end hath come nigh; be sober-minded, then, and watch unto the prayers,

Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,
