Luke 21:34-36

Watch Yourselves

³⁴ "But watch yourselves _f lest _g your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and _h cares of this life, and _i that day come upon you suddenly _j like a trap. ³⁵ For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. ³⁶ But _k stay awake at all times, _l praying that you may _m have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and _n to stand before the Son of Man."
