Book of Colossians - Chapter 4 - Verse 5

4:5
Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

Meaning

Walking in wisdom towards those outside of the faith means conducting ourselves in a manner that is respectable and honorable. It involves being mindful of our actions and words, and how they impact those who do not share our beliefs. By redeeming the time, we are called to make the most of every opportunity to share the message of the gospel with others. This verse encourages Christians to live intentionally, making a conscious effort to be a light in a dark world. It serves as a reminder to be mindful of our interactions with non-believers, always seeking to demonstrate God's love and grace through our words and actions. By being wise in our conduct and seizing every opportunity to share the good news, we can have a positive impact on those around us and potentially lead others to faith in Christ.
