redeeming the time: for the days are evil.

Walk wisely to them that are without, and redeem the time.

We have heard say, no doubt, that there are some which walk among you inordinately, and work not at all, but are busybodies.

Unghostly and vain voices, pass over. For they shall increase unto greater ungodliness,
