Lucas 21:34

34 Y mirad por vosotros, que vuestros corazones no sean cargados de glotonería y embriaguez, y de los cuidados de esta vida, y venga de repente sobre vosotros aquel día

Lucas 21:34 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:34

And take heed to yourselves
To your souls and bodies, to your lives and conversations; be upon your watch and guard: lest your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness;
with excessive eating and drinking; for these, as they oppress and burden the stomach, and disorder the body, so they stupefy the senses, and make the mind dull and heavy, and unfit for spiritual and religious exercises; such as reading, meditation, and prayer: and cares of this life;
concealing food and clothing, what you shall eat or drink, or wherewith ye shall be clothed; all such anxious and worldly cares, being that to the soul, as intemperance is to the body; for there is such a thing as being inebriated with the world, as well as with wine: and so that day come upon you unawares;
the day of Jerusalem's destruction; and this suggests, that such would be the carnality and security of some persons, and so they would be surprised with ruin at once; see ( Luke 17:26-30 ) .

Lucas 21:34 In-Context

32 De cierto os digo, que no pasará esta generación hasta que todo sea hecho

33 El cielo y la tierra pasarán; mas mis palabras no pasarán

34 Y mirad por vosotros, que vuestros corazones no sean cargados de glotonería y embriaguez, y de los cuidados de esta vida, y venga de repente sobre vosotros aquel día

35 Porque como un lazo vendrá sobre todos los que habitan sobre la faz de toda la tierra

36 Velad pues, orando en todo tiempo, que seáis tenidos por dignos de evitar todas estas cosas que han de venir, y de estar en pie delante del Hijo del hombre
