Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Bishop Morton, of Durham, lived to a great age (ninety-eight), and few men made better use of their time, for he was never idle. He was often up at his devotions and study before four o'clock, even after he had reached fourscore years; yet he seldom went to bed till after ten, and then had always a man servant to read some book to him till such time as sleep overtook him. When he travelled in his coach, he took care not to lose that time from study, carrying with him always some portion of his library. (Memoirs of Bishop Morton.)As you cannot overtake Time, the best way is always to be a few minutes before him. Parallel Verses KJV: Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
