Exegesis
That force then governs the paired infinitives ekphygein {ἐκφυγεῖν | ek-phu-geîn} ‘to escape’ and stathēnai {σταθῆναι | sta-thê-nai} ‘to stand’, which together define the twofold goal of readiness: deliverance from the coming events and successful standing before the Son of Man.
In context — Luke 21:36
But stay awake at all times, praying so that you may prevail to escape all these things that are about to happen, and to stand before the Son of Man .
