Ephesians 5:15–17: Walking Wisely in Evil Days
Paul does not hand his readers a time management system. He calls them to a posture: careful, understanding living that treats each day as belonging to the Lord, even when the days themselves are evil.
Ephesians 5:1–14: Walking in Love and Purity
Paul grounds the call to purity in who believers already are: beloved children and light in the Lord. Walking in love and walking in light turn out to be the same walk, shaped by Christ's self-giving.
