This chapter is training in how to live out this new life of faith. Critical reading, so consider reading the whole thing. But in light of this being a quick study, just this little snippet.
Ephesians 5:15-17 – Amplified Bible
Please ready Ephesians 5:15-17
15Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people], 16 [b]making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is.
It’s a life of wisdom, discernment and diligence. Thoughtfulness, respect and love. It’s a very high calling we’ve been called to. Walk carefully.
