Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ephesians 5:13-15

"But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light. Wherefore [he] saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee. Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;" — Ephesians 5:13-15 (ASV)

For whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

See then that you walk circumspectly—not carelessly, not thinking that it is of no importance how you live; but looking all around you, "walk circumspectly," watching lest even in seeking one good thing you spoil another. Never present to God one duty stained with the blood of another duty. "See then that you walk circumspectly,"—(Ephesians 5:15–16).

Not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time,

Buying up the hours; they are of such value that you cannot pay too high a price for them.
