'Cautious' in the Bible

The righteous person is cautious with respect to his neighbor, but the lifestyle of the wicked leads them astray.

A wise man is cautious and turns from evil,but a fool is easily angered and is careless.

Thorns and snares lie in the path of the perverse person, but whoever is cautious stays far away from them.

Blessed is the one who is always cautious, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into evil.

“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.”

Therefore, be continually on the alert—for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning—

What I say to you I say to everyone, ‘Be on the alert [stay awake and be continually cautious]!’”

So then let us not sleep [in spiritual indifference] as the rest [of the world does], but let us keep wide awake [alert and cautious] and let us be sober [self-controlled, calm, and wise].

Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour.
