^5 (A)Walk in wisdom toward ^(B)outsiders, making the best use of the time.

¹¹ Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you ^(A)to wake from sleep. ^(B)For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. ^12 (C)The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us ^(D)cast off ^(E)the works of darkness and ^(F)put on the armor of light. ^13 (G)Let us walk properly as in the daytime, ^(H)not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, ^(I)not in quarreling and jealousy. ¹⁴ But ^(J)put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, ^(K)to gratify its desires.

²⁹ This is what I mean, brothers: ^(A)the appointed time has grown very short. From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none,

⁹ And ^(A)let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, ^(B)if we do not give up.

^15 (A)Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, ^16 (B)making the best use of the time, because ^(C)the days are evil.
