¹⁷ Pray without ceasing.

¹² Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

² Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

¹⁸ Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

18 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

³⁶ Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

⁷ But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
