When you do these things, keep in mind the times we are living in. The hour has already come for you to wake up from your sleep. The full effects of our salvation are closer now than when we first believed in Christ.

再者，你们晓得，现今就是该趁早睡醒的时候；因为我们得救，现今比初信的时候更近了。

緣此、知時已屆、今宜自寐而寤、蓋我儕得救、較初信時為尤近、

凡此皆所當行、因知屆期、今宜寤矣、較我初信之時、福更近之、

既知斯時即爾由睡宜醒之時、則當遵此以行、蓋我儕得救、今較初信之時愈近矣、

且吾人亦不可昧於時義、須知今茲已為醒於睡夢之時。何則、吾人蒙救之日、已較初信之時、日近一日矣。

And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.

This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

Besides this, since you know the time, it is already the hour for you to wake up from sleep, because now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we first believed.

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

The end of all things is near. So be watchful and control yourselves. Then you may pray.

All of you are children of the light. You are children of the day. We don’t belong to the night. We don’t belong to the darkness.So let us not be like the others. They are asleep. Instead, let us be wide awake and in full control of ourselves.Those who sleep, sleep at night. Those who get drunk, get drunk at night.But we belong to the day. So let us control ourselves. Let us put on our chest the armor of faith and love. Let us put on the hope of salvation like a helmet.

That is why it is said,“ Wake up, sleeper. Rise from the dead. Then Christ will shine on you.”

You should come back to your senses and stop sinning. Some of you don’t know anything about God. I say this to make you ashamed.

“ So keep watch! You do not know when the owner of the house will come back. It may be in the evening or at midnight. It may be when the rooster crows or at dawn.He may come suddenly. So do not let him find you sleeping.What I say to you, I say to everyone.‘ Watch!’ ”

But we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth. Godliness will live there. All this is in keeping with God’s promise.Dear friends, I know you are looking forward to this. So try your best to be found pure and without blame. Be at peace with God.Remember that while our Lord is waiting patiently to return, people are being saved. Our dear brother Paul also wrote to you about this. God made him wise to write as he did.

Brothers and sisters, we don’t have to write to you about times and dates.You know very well how the day of the Lord will come. It will come like a thief in the night.People will be saying that everything is peaceful and safe. Then suddenly they will be destroyed. It will happen like birth pains coming on a pregnant woman. None of the people will escape.

When these things begin to take place, stand up. Hold your head up with joy and hope. The time when you will be set free will be very close.”

“ So keep watch. You do not know on what day your Lord will come.You must understand something. Suppose the owner of the house knew what time of night the robber was coming. Then he would have kept watch. He would not have let his house be broken into.So you also must be ready. The Son of Man will come at an hour when you don’t expect him.

Jesus is a witness about these things. He says,“ Yes. I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

No matter what you do, work at it with all your might. Remember, you are going to the place of the dead. And there isn’t any work or planning or knowledge or wisdom there.

Those things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us. That’s because we are living at the time when God’s work is being completed.

“ Look! I am coming soon! I bring my rewards with me. I will reward each person for what they have done.

Brothers and sisters, what I mean is that the time is short. From now on, those who have a husband or wife should live as if they did not.Those who mourn should live as if they did not. Those who are happy should live as if they were not. Those who buy something should live as if it were not theirs to keep.Those who use the things of the world should not become all wrapped up in them. The world as it now exists is passing away.

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.“ Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter.“ Watch and pray. Then you won’t fall into sin when you are tempted. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

The captain went down to him and said,“ How can you sleep? Get up and call out to your god for help! Maybe he’ll pay attention to what’s happening to us. Then we won’t die.”

Here is a prophecy against Edom that the Lord gave me. Someone is calling out to me from the land of Seir. He says,“ Guard, when will the night be over? Guard, how soon will it end?”The guard answers,“ Morning is coming, but the night will return. If you want to ask again, come back and ask.”

The groom did not come for a long time. So the bridesmaids all grew tired and fell asleep.“ At midnight someone cried out,‘ Here’s the groom! Come out to meet him!’“ Then all the bridesmaids woke up and got their lamps ready.

And in the morning you say,‘ Today it will be stormy. The sky is red and cloudy.’ You know the meaning of what you see in the sky. But you can’t understand the signs of what is happening right now.
