1830 Edition

yea, and I also exhort you, my brethren, that ye be watchful unto prayer continually, that ye may not be led away by the temptation of the Devil, that he may not overpower you, that ye may not become his subjects at the last day: for behold, he rewardeth you no good thing.

Changes

yYea, and I also exhort you, my brethren, that ye be watchful unto prayer continually, that ye may not be led away by the temptations of the Ddevil, that he may not overpower you, that ye may not become his subjects at the last day:; for behold, he rewardeth you no good thing.

Simple English

I tell you, my brothers, always be watchful in prayer. Do not let the Devil’s temptations lead you away. Do not let him take power over you. Do not become his at the last day. He does not reward you with any good thing.

Paraphrase

And stay alert in prayer constantly, so you won’t be led away by the devil’s temptations. Don’t let him overpower you. Don’t become his in the end. He rewards you with nothing good.
