'Attention' in the Bible
If he pays no attention to them [refusing to listen and obey], tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile (unbeliever) and a tax collector.
But they paid no attention [they disregarded the invitation, treating it with contempt] and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.
Jesus left the temple area and was going on His way when His disciples came up to Him to call His attention to the [magnificent and massive] buildings of the temple.
“So be alert [give strict attention, be cautious and active in faith], for you do not know which day [whether near or far] your Lord is coming.
Therefore, be on the alert [be prepared and ready], for you do not know the day nor the hour [when the Son of Man will come].
Keep actively watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
