³⁴ “But take heed to yourselves that your hearts may not at any time be weighed-down with carousing and drunkenness and anxieties^[a] pertaining-to-life, and that unexpected^[b] day suddenly-come-upon^[c] you ³⁵ like a snare. For it will come-in-upon all the ones sitting on the face of all the earth. ³⁶ And be keeping-alert^[d] in every season, praying that you may have strength to escape^[e] all these things being about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man”.
