34 “But (A)be on your guard, so that your hearts will not be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that [a]this day will not come on you suddenly, like a trap; 35 for it will come upon all those who live on the face of all the earth. 36 But (B)stay alert at all times, praying that you will have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to (C)stand before the Son of Man.”

33 “Watch out, (A)stay alert; for you do not know when the appointed time is. 34 (B)It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and [a]putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay alert. 35 Therefore, (C)stay alert—for you do not know when the [b]master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or (D)when the rooster crows, or (E)in the morning— 36 so that he does not come suddenly and find you (F)asleep. 37 What I say to you I say to all: ‘(G)Stay alert!’”
