1 Peter 4:7

Is at hand [η γ γ ι κ ε ν]. Lit., has come near. The word constantly used of the coming of Christ and his kingdom. See Matthew 3:2; Mark 1:15; Luke 10:9; Hebrews 10:25.

Be ye sober [σ ω φ ρ ο ν η σ α τ ε]. The word is from swv, sound, and frhn, the mind. Therefore, as Rev., be ye of sound mind. Compare Mark 5:15. Watch [ν η ψ α τ ε]. See on ch. 1 Peter 1:13. The A. V. has followed the Vulgate, vigilate (watch). Rev. is better : be sober.

Unto prayer [ε ι ς π ρ ο σ ε υ χ α ς]. Lit., prayers. The plural is used designedly : prayers of all kinds, private or public. Tynd. renders, Be ye discreet and sober, that ye may be apt to prayers. Compare Ephesians 6:18, "with every kind of prayer, and watching thereunto."
