"Warning, admonition, promise, all are for us, upon whom the ends of the world are come. “Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.” 1 Thessalonians 5:6 . 6T 410.1"
"Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober."
This is a direct quote from 1 Thessalonians 5:6, making it an explicit allusion.
"***** “Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.” Luke 21:34 . 6T 410.2"
"And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares."
The EGW passage directly quotes Luke 21:34.
"***** “Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.” Mark 14:38 . Watch against the stealthy approach of the enemy, watch against old habits and natural inclinations, lest they assert themselves; force them back, and watch. Watch the thoughts, watch the plans, lest they become self-centered. Watch over the souls whom Christ has purchased with His own blood. Watch for opportunities to do them good. 6T 410.3"
"Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak."
The EGW passage directly quotes Mark 14:38 and then expands upon its meaning.
"***** Watch, “lest coming suddenly He find you sleeping.” Mark 13:36 . 6T 410.4"
