Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Some of the strongest and best arguments against all sorts of sin are taken from the sufferings of Christ. All sympathy and tenderness for Christ as a sufferer are lost of you do not put away sin.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Let the frame and temper of your minds be grave, stayed, and solid; and observe strict temperance and sobriety in the use of all worldly enjoyments. Do not suffer yourselves to be caught with your former sins and temptations,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Thus "sober" is the opposite of "lasciviousness" (1Pe 4:3). watch--Greek, "be soberly vigilant"; not intoxicated with worldly cares and pleasures. Temperance promotes wakefulness or watchfulness, and both promote prayer. Drink makes drowsy, and drowsiness prevents prayer. prayer--Greek, "prayers"; the end for which we should exercise vigilance.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

But the end of all things - And so of their wrongs, and your sufferings. Is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer - Temperance helps watchfulness, and both of them help prayer.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
