1 Peter 4:7

7The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.

7The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.

7The end and culmination of all things is near. Therefore, be sound-minded and self-controlled for the purpose of prayer [staying balanced and focused on the things of God so that your communication will be clear, reasonable, specific and pleasing to Him.]

7The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.

7But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:

7Now the ende of all things is at hand. Be ye therefore sober, and watching in prayer.

7But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

7The end of all things is near. So be watchful and control yourselves. Then you may pray.

7All things in this world will soon come to an end. So you must think clearly. Then you will be able to pray in a serious way.

7Now the end of all things has come near; be sober-minded, then, and be sober in [your] prayers.
