<p>5:15 <i>Therefore, look carefully how you walk, not as the unwise but as the wise</i>- &quot;Carefully&quot; is better &quot;diligently&quot;, and is the same word used about Apollos who was &quot;diligent&quot; or 'careful' in his faith at Ephesus, and would have been known to the initial readership (Acts 18:25). Our way of life is not to simply left at a default position, as it is with most people. Life in Christ is to be consciously lived, examined and adjusted consciously. This is the true wisdom; the wise of this world are spiritually unwise, which thought provides yet another connection with the early chapters of Romans (Rom. 1:14,22). James 3:13 likewise defines &quot;the wise&quot; as those who live in practice a spiritual life.&nbsp;</p>
