Romans 13:11

And that] RV 'and this,'i.e. and do this: cp. 1 Corinthians 6:6; 1 Corinthians 6:8. Time] RV 'season.'

Salvation] i.e. complete salvation. Nearer] However long Christ tarry, death brings Him near to each. But the first Christians evidently expected His return in their own time. Sanday and Headlam point out that this belief proved beneficial, by quickening the zeal of the Church for its difficult task, and by preventing the apostles from laying down minute regulations for the future. Believed] RV 'first believed.'
