The Careful Walk

Paul brings us to his fifth and final "walk" section. Though you are now a child of the light, the world is still dark and your flesh is often weak, so walk carefully! Paul outlines the careful walk with three sets of commands, each framed in a contrast. The apostle's goal is to help you "walk carefully in evil times:" i.) Step wisely (vv.15-16); ii.) Seek God's will (v.17); iii.) Submit to the Spirit (v.18).
