Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
