Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. I who squandered whole days heretofore, now husband hours and minutes; thus, when the glass begins to run low, I will not spend what remains in trifles. At the end of the lottery of life, our last minutes, like tickets left in the wheel, rise in their valuation; they are not of so much worth, perhaps, in themselves, as those which preceded, but we are apt, with great reason, to prize them more. (Bishop Atterbury.) Parallel Verses KJV: Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
