Vigilate, nescitis enim quando Dominus domus veniat, sero, an media nocte, an galli cantu, an mane. Vigilate ergo, ne cum venerit repente, inveniat vos dormientes. Quod autem dico vobis, omnibus dico: vigilate.

Watch, for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, in the middle of the night, at the cock-crow, in the morning. Watch, therefore, lest he should come suddenly and find you asleep. What I say to everyone: watch.
