The Key Word — βλέπετε, blepōgenerated
The verb βλέπω (*blepo*) means 'to see' or 'to look at', encompassing both physical sight and metaphorical perception. It implies a sense of caution, urging the audience to be aware and attentive to their spiritual state.
In this imperative form, it calls for active engagement and self-examination. The word appears frequently throughout the New Testament, often in contexts that require discernment and awareness, as seen in passages like Matthew 12:22.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In the Berean Standard Bible, the verse is rendered: 'Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.' This aligns closely with the KJV and ASV, which use 'look to yourselves' and maintain the same structure.
However, there are variations in wording. The BBE uses 'keep watch over yourselves,' while the WEB opts for 'watch yourselves,' indicating a slight difference in emphasis but not in meaning.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is βλέπετε, do watch, which governs the phrase that follows. There are two clauses that hang off this main verb: one expressing the purpose of watching and the other indicating the potential loss of what has been worked for.
The structure highlights a conditional statement: if the audience does not watch, they risk losing what has been accomplished. This relationship between vigilance and reward is central to the verse's meaning.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
βλέπω has roots in the Septuagint, where it translates the Hebrew word רָאָה (*ra'ah*), meaning 'to see.' This connection emphasizes the continuity of the concept of vigilance from the Old Testament to the New.
In the LXX, βλέπω often conveys a sense of divine observation, reinforcing the idea that believers are also under God's watchful eye.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Videte vosmetipsos, ne perdatis quæ operati estis : sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

The Greek word βλέπω (i.e., *blepo*) primarily means 'to see' or 'to look at,' encompassing both physical sight and metaphorical perception. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 12:22 and Acts 9:9, where it denotes both literal and figurative understanding. The word can also imply caution or attention, as seen in references to 'bewaring' in Mark 8:15. No significant disagreements among lexicons were noted.

Read the full entry →βλέπω. The papyri have added a perfect to the paradigm of this verb: it proves to have been βέβλοφα (P Lond 422!—R.c., 168) (=Witkowski?, p. 63) (see under ἐμβλέπω). It is hard to believe that a form so correct historically, and so distant from any obvious analogy, can be anything but a genuine survival, even if it does meet us only ἴῃ ἃ woman’s letter from Ptolemaic Egypt. If this inference is justifiable, the word has a moral for the argument from silence. Βλέπω has primarily the physical sense, as distinguished from ὁρῶ (cf. our cognate ware): this is well seen in ἀναβλέπω = recover sight. Usage bears this out. Thus P Par 445 (B.c. 153) (= Witkowski?, p. 83) has βλέπω Μενέδημον κατατρέχοντά pe coming after ἐγὼ yap ἐνύπνια ὁρῶ πονηρά.

woch ('ashmurah, 'ashmoreth; phulake): A division of the night. The night was originally divided into three watches (Jud 7:19), but later into four, as we find in the New Testament (Mt 14:25; Mr 6:48). We do not know the limits of the watches in the first division, but the middle watch probably began two hours before midnight and ended two hours after. The fourfold division was according to the Roman system, each of which was a fourth part of the night.

The Greek word ἵνα is primarily a conjunction meaning 'in order that' or 'that,' indicating purpose or intention. It can also function as an adverb of place, meaning 'where' or 'whither.' In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, often introducing clauses that express purpose, such as in Matthew 1:22. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings or usages.
ἵνα, I. an adv. of Place. fr. Hom. down, esp. in the poets; a. where; in what place. b. to what place; whither. Of the former signification C. F. A. Fritzsche (on Mt. p. 836; differently in Fritzschiorum Opusce. p. 186 sqq-.) thought he had found two examples in bibl. Greek, and H. A. W. Meyer agrees with him. The first viz. iva μὴ φυσιοῦσθε, 1 Co. iv. 6, they explain thus: where (i. e. in which state of things viz. when ye have leatned from my example to think humbly of yourselves) the one is not exalted to the other’s disadvantage; the second, iva αὐτοὺς ζηλοῦτε, Gal. iv. 17, thus: where ye zealously court them; but see II. 1 d. below. “ iva I. a final Conjunction (for from local direction, indicated by the adverb, the transition was easy te mental direction or intention) denoting pur pose and end: to the intent that; to the end that, in order that; ἵνα pn, that not, lest; it is used…

so (co', although the Hebrew might be pointed cewe'; Assyrian Sib'u; Septuagint Segor, Soa; Manetho, Seuechos; Latin Sevechus; Herodotus (ii. 137 ff), Sabakon): In all probability the "Sabaeo" of Herodotus, the Shabaka, who founded the Ethiopian dynasty, the XXVth of Egyptian kings. His date is given as 715-707 BC (Flinders Petrie, History of Egypt, III, 281 ff), but we may suppose that before his accession to the throne he was entitled to be designated king, as being actually regent. To this So, Hoshea, king of Israel, made an appeal for assistance to enable him to throw off the yoke of the Assyrian Shalmaneser IV (2Ki 17:3). But Hoshea's submission to So brought him no advantage, for Shalmaneser came up throughout all the land and laid siege to Samaria. Not long after the fall of Samaria, So ventured upon an eastern campaign, and…
So
(Nubian, Sabako), an Ethiopian king who brought Egypt under his sway. He was bribed by Hoshea to help him against the Assyrian monarch Shalmaneser (2 Kings 17:4). This was a return to the policy that had been successful in the reign of Jeroboam I.
"So, king of Egypt," is once mentioned in the Bible -- (2 Kings 17:4) So has been identified by different writers with the first and second kings of the Ethiopian twenty-fifth dynasty, called by Manetho, Sabakon (Shebek) and Sebichos (Shebetek).
King of Egypt, made an alliance with Hoshea king of Israel, and promised him assistance; but was unable to prevent Shalmaneser king of Assyria from taking Samaria and subverting the kingdom, B. C. 721, 2Ki 17:4. See PHARAOH.
So is believed to have been the Servetus or Sabaco II of secular history, the second king of the Ethiopian or twenty-fifth dynasty, and the predecessor of Trihakah. A singular fact has been brought to light by the recent explorations at Nineveh, corroborating the Scripture record the more forcibly, because unexpected and direct. The Bible shows that Egypt and Assyria, though remote, were often in conflict during the height of the Assyrian ruins power, and that So was at war with Shalmaneser. After war comes the treaty of peace; and as the Bible prepares us to suppose such treaties were made, the Assyrian ruins…

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,
subjective negative particle,
used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation. As a general rule, οὐ negatives the indic., μή the other moods, incl, ptcp. [In LXX for אֵין, אַיִן, אַל.]
As a neg. adv., not;
with ref. to thought or opinion: Jo 3:18, Tit 1:11, II Pe 1:9.
μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, ete.

The Greek word ἀπόλλυμι (*apollumi*) is built from the prefix ἀπ- and a root meaning to destroy. It covers a range of meanings including to destroy, kill, lose, or perish, both literally and metaphorically. In the New Testament, it is used to describe destruction and loss of life, as seen in verses like Matthew 10:28. The lexicons do not present significant disagreement.
ἀπόλλυμι. One or two instances of the literal use of this common verb will suffice—P Petr III. 51° τὸ ἀργύριον ὃ ὥιοντο ἀπολωλέναι, “the money which they thought had been lost,” P Oxy IV. 743°% (B.c. 2) ἐγὼ ὅλος διαπον[ο]ῦμαι εἰ Ἕλενος χαλκοῦς ἀπόλε[σ]εν, “1 am quite upset at Helenos’ loss of the money” (Edd.). In P Fay 111° (a.p. 95-6) we have it of destroying life: μένφομαί σαι μεγάλως ἀπολέσας X[v]piSia δύω ἀπὸ τοῦ ckvApod τῆς ὡδοῦ, “1 blame you greatly for the loss of two pigs owing to the fatigue of the journey” (Edd.).

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent. The New Testament uses it in various constructions, including phrases like ὃς μὲν... ὃς δέ to indicate contrasting subjects. Notably, it can express purpose or cause in certain contexts.

The Greek word ἐργάζομαι (i.e., *ergazomai*) means 'to work' or 'to labor.' It encompasses a range of activities, including manual labor, trade, and performing tasks for pay or reward. The New Testament uses it in various contexts, such as working in a vineyard (Mt 21:28) and doing good works (Col 3:23). The lexicons do not present any significant disagreement regarding its meanings.

The Greek word ἀλλά (alla) is an adversative particle, meaning 'but' or 'otherwise.' It is derived from the neuter plural of ἄλλος and is used to introduce opposition or contrast in sentences. In the New Testament, it often appears in contexts that involve negation or exceptions, such as in Matthew 5:15 and John 16:2. The lexicons note its stronger adversative force compared to δέ.

It can also denote a reward, particularly in a divine context, as seen in various New Testament passages like Matthew 5:12 and 2 Peter 2:13.

re-word': In modern English (except when influenced by the Biblical forms) a "reward" is something given in recognition of a good act. In English Versions of the Bible, however, "reward" is used quite generally for anything given, and the term covers the recompense of evil (Ps 91:8), wages (1Ti 5:18 the King James Version), bribes (Mic 7:3), and gifts (Jer 40:5 the King James Version). The Revised Version (British and American) has specialized the meaning in a number of cases (Ps 94:2; Eze 16:34; Jer 40:5, etc.)…

πλήρης (plērēs) means 'full' or 'filled,' often used with a genitive to indicate what something is full of, such as 'full of disease' (Lk 5:12) or 'full of the Holy Spirit' (Lk 4:1). It can also denote completeness or perfection, as in 'full grain' (Mk 4:28) or 'full of good works' (Acts 9:36). The word appears in various contexts, including physical fullness and metaphorical uses related to the soul.

The Greek word ἀπολαμβάνω (i.e., *apolambano*) is built from the prefix ἀπο- and the root λαμβάνω. It covers a range of meanings including to receive what is due, to take aside, or to recover. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as receiving back or receiving one's due, notably in Luke 16:25 and Galatians 4:5.
ἀπολαμβάνω ; fut. ἀπολήψομαι (Col. iii. 24; 1, Τ Tr WH ἀπολήμψεσθε; see λαμβάνω) ; 2 aor. ἀπέλαβον ; 2 aor. mid. ἀπελαβόμην; fr. Hdt. down; 1. fo receive (from another, ἀπό [cf. Mey. on Gal. iv. 5; Ellie. ibid. and Win. De verb. comp. ete. as below]) what is due or promised (cf. ἀποδίδωμι, 2): τ. υἱοθεσίαν the adoption promised to believers, Gal. iv. 5; τὰ ἀγαθά σου thy good things, “ which thou couldst expect and as it were demand, which seemed due to thee” (Win. De verb. comp. ete. Pt. iv. p. 13), Lk. xvi.25. Hence 2. to take again or back, to recover: Lk. vi. 34 [T Tr txt. WH λαβεῖν]; xv. 27; and to receive by way of retribution: Lk. xviii. 30 (L txt. Tr mrg. WH txt. λάβῃ); xxiii. 41; Ro. i. 27; 2 Jn. 3; Col. iii. 24. 3. to take from others, take apart or aside; Mid. τινά, to take a person with one aside out of the view of others: with the addition of ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου κατ᾽ ἰδίαν in Mk.…
Read the full entry →ἀπολαμβάνω. The use of ἀπολαβέσϑαι in Mk 7° = “draw aside,” ‘*separate,” is well illustrated by P Lond 4215 ἅ. (g.c. 168) (=I. p. 30, Selections, p. 10) ἐπὶ δὲ τῶι μὴ παραγίνεσθαί σε [πάντω]ν τῶν ἐκεῖ ἀπειλημμένων παραγεγονότων ἀηδίζομαι, ““ but that you did not return when all those who were shut up with you arrived distresses me ””—with reference to the ‘‘recluses” of the Serapeum. So P Vat A? (B.c. 168) = Witkowski’, p. 65) ἠβουλόμην δὲ kal σὲ παραγεγονέναι els τὴν πόλ[ι]ν, καθάπερ... οἱ ἄλλοι of ἀπειλη[μμένοι] am[a]vres. The word is of course very common. It is found in the sense of ‘‘ receive,” ‘‘ welcome” (as in the TR of 3 Jn’) in P Lips I. 1108 (iii/iv A.p.) εὐχόμενος ὅπως ὁλοκληροῦσάν σε Kal ὑγιαίνουσαν ἀπολάβω (cf. Lk 1527), and P Jand 1317 ἵνα pera χαρᾶς oe ἀπολάβωμεν. The full force of the amé—as pointing to a ‘‘ promise made centuries before ’—is probably to be retained in…
