But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. Be sober.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
I am no longer here to withstand these things; be thou a worthy successor of me, no longer depending on me for counsel, but thine own master, and swimming without the corks [CALVIN]; follow my steps, inherit their result, and the honor of their end [ALFORD]. watch thou--literally, "with the wakefulness of one sober." in all things--on all occasions and under all circumstances (Tit 2:7). endure affliction--suffer hardships [ALFORD]. evangelist--a missionary bishop preacher, and teacher. make full proof of--fulfil in all its requirements, leaving nothing undone (Act 12:25; Rom 15:19; Col 4:17).
