Mark 13:33-37
New King James Version
33 (A)Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. 34 (B)It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave (C)authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. 35 (D)Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— 36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”

‘These things says He who (A)has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before [b]God. 3 (B)Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and (C)repent.
