Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. An Italian philosopher expressed in his motto, "that time was his treasure"; an estate, indeed, which will produce nothing without cultivation, but which will always abundantly repay the labours of industry, and satisfy the most extensive desires, if no part of it be suffered to lie waste by negligence, to be overrun with noxious plants, or laid out for show rather than use. (Dr. Johnson.) Parallel Verses KJV: Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
