| Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints. | Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. |
| Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. | Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving. |
|
| Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. | Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. |
| Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. | Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. |
| So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. | Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. |
| Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. | Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. |
| The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. | But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. |
| Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. | Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. |
