Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. God hangs the great things of eternity upon the small wires of times and seasons in this world: that may be done, or neglected in a day, which may be the groundwork of joy or sorrow to all eternity. There is a nick of opportunity which gives both success and facility to the great and weighty affairs of the soul, as well as body; to come before it is to seek the bird before it be hatched; and to come after it, is to seek it when it is fled. (J. Flavel.) Parallel Verses KJV: Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
