1 Peter 1:13

But the hand of Yahweh was on Elijah, and he girded up his loins and outran Ahab unto where you enter Jezreel.

“Gird up your loins, and keep your lamps lit.

For the anxious longing of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

When Christ, who is our life, is manifested, then you also will be manifested with Him in glory.

so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be awake and sober.

But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, made careful searches and inquiries,

The end of all things is at hand; therefore, be of sound thinking and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.

Be of sober spirit, be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Through Silvanus, our faithful brother as I regard him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and bearing witness that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!
