And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. |
And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. |
And this do, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us (or, our salvation is nearer) than when we believed. |
|
And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. |
Besides this you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high time now for you to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah). |
And this, knowing the strategic season, that it is an hour now for you to awake out of sleep, for now our salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. |
|
Why all this stress on behaviour? Because, as I think you have realised, the present time is of the highest importance – it is time to wake up to reality. Every day brings God’s salvation nearer than the day in which we took the first step of faith. |
Do this in particular because you know the present crisis, that it is high time for you to wake up out of your sleep, for our salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed. |
