8 Bible Verses about Redeeming The Time

And David saith to all his servants who are with him in Jerusalem, 'Rise, and we flee, for we have no escape from the face of Absalom; haste to go, lest he hasten, and have overtaken us, and forced on us evil, and smitten the city by the mouth of the sword.'

'And thus ye do eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and ye have eaten it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover,

haste, escape thither, for I am not able to do anything till thine entering thither;' therefore hath he calleth the name of the city Zoar.

And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened -- that both those having wives may be as not having;

and those using this world, as not using it up; for passing away is the fashion of this world.

Remember also thy Creators in days of thy youth, While that the evil days come not, Nor the years have arrived, that thou sayest, 'I have no pleasure in them.'

See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil;

in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;

To number our days aright let us know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
