2. Be on the alert and strengthen the remaining things that are about to die, for I have not found your works completed before my God.
3. Therefore remember how you have received and heard, and observe it, and repent. If therefore you are not on the alert, I will come like a thief, and you will never know at what hour I will come against you.
