Lucas 21:34

34 »¡Tengan cuidado! No dejen que su corazón se entorpezca con parrandas y borracheras, ni por las preocupaciones de esta vida. No dejen que ese día los agarre desprevenidos,

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 Les digo la verdad, no pasará esta generación hasta que hayan sucedido todas estas cosas.

33 El cielo y la tierra desaparecerán, pero mis palabras no desaparecerán jamás.

34 »¡Tengan cuidado! No dejen que su corazón se entorpezca con parrandas y borracheras, ni por las preocupaciones de esta vida. No dejen que ese día los agarre desprevenidos,

35 como una trampa. Pues ese día vendrá sobre cada ser viviente de la tierra.

36 Manténganse siempre alerta. Y oren para que sean suficientemente fuertes para escapar de los horrores que vendrán y para presentarse delante del Hijo del Hombre.
