Ephesians 5:15
_ _ that — rather as Greek, “See how ye walk,” etc. The double idea is compressed into one sentence: “See (take heed) how ye walk,” and “See that ye walk circumspectly.” The manner, as well as the act itself, is included. See how ye are walking, with a view to your being circumspect (literally, accurate, exact) in your walk. Compare Colossians 4:5, “Walk in wisdom (answering to ‘as wise’ here) toward them that are without” (answering to “circumspectly,” that is, correctly, in relation to the unbelievers around, not giving occasion of stumbling to any, but edifying all by a consistent walk).
_ _ not as fools — Greek, “not as unwise, but as wise.” |
Ephesians 5:15
Circumspectly — Exactly, with the utmost accuracy, getting to the highest pitch of every point of holiness. Not as fools — Who think not where they are going, or do not make the best of their way. |
Ephesians 5:15
(4) See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
(4) The worse and more corrupt that the manners of this world are, the more watchful we ought to be in every situation, and give regard to nothing but the will of God. |
