vigilant

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Be wise and understanding and vigilant. Hallelujah.

OF THE READER A reader is instituted [who is pure, quiet, meek,’ wise, with much experience, learned and of much learning, with a good memory, vigilant, so that he may deserve a higher degree? First let the book be given him in the sight of the people, on the first day of the week. Buta hand is not laid on him. But he heareth from the bishop [the following]: Thou, O N., whom Christ hath called to be a minister’ of His words, be careful, and strive that thou mayest appear approved both in this rule and in a higher degree, even by our Lord Jesus Christ; so that He in His everlasting habita- tions may pay thee a good reward for these things. And let the priests say: So be it, so be it, so be it.
