<p>5:17- see on Jude 20.</p><p><i>Pray without ceasing</i>- The allusion is to the unceasing sacrifices of the tabernacle, which could be understood as speaking of our prayers. When Paul wrote of praying &quot;night and day&rdquo;, it could be that he refers to his twice daily prayer times. For he was hardly praying 24/7. The idea is that we should live in an atmosphere of prayer, and not give up on an issue after a short time.</p>
