 | Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. |
 | See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
 | Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,making the most of your time, because the days are evil. |
| Ephesians 5:15-16 |
Commentary
The Gr. word for "time" denotes a fixed, measured, allocated season; with the definite article "the," it likely refers to one's lifetime as a believer. We are to make the most of our time on this evil earth in fulfilling God's purposes, lining up every opportunity for useful worship and service.
