G3525–νήφω–nēphō

So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake.

νήφωμεν. nēphōmen “we may be sober.”

But let us, who are of the day, be serious, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and on our heads, the hope of salvation.

νήφωμεν nēphōmen “may be sober”

But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.

νῆφε nēphe “do be sober”

So make your minds ready, and keep on the watch, hoping with all your power for the grace which is to come to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

νήφοντες, nēphontes “being sober-minded,”

But the end of all things is near: so be serious in your behaviour and keep on the watch with prayer;

νήψατε nēpsate “do sober”

Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

νήψατε, nēpsate “do be sober-minded,”
