34 "Be on your guard,*so that your minds are not dulled*from carousing,*drunkenness,*and worries of life,*or that day will come on you unexpectedly*35 like a trap. For it will come on all who live on the face of the whole earth.36 But be alert at all times,*praying that you may have strength*to escape*all these things that are going to take place and to stand before the Son of Man."
