Now through the unmerited favor God has shown me I would say to every one of you not to estimate himself above his real value, but to make a sober rating of himself, in accordance with the degree of faith which God has apportioned to him.

Sober up, as is right, and stop sinning, for some of you -- to your shame I say so -- are without any true knowledge of God.

So let us stop sleeping as others do, but let us stay awake and keep sober.

but let us who belong to the day keep sober, clothed with faith and love for a coat of mail and with the hope of salvation for a helmet.

But the end of everything on earth is near. So be serious and sober minded, that you may give yourselves to prayer.
