Thoughts... The dia touto in verse 17 seems to be the major dividing point here in this passage, and is explaining 15-16 in this way: "because the days are evil, we should be carefully how we walk, and therefore we should not be foolish/unwise in our living, but understanding the ways of Jesus and being wise in imitating him." The ideas of chapters 4-5 continue here: the light/darkness contrast is for the will of the Lord to shine and for the sleepers to rise up from the dead and not do the deeds of darkness (the deeds of darkness are implied in the dia touto and correspond with the idea of evil days), imitating Christ is done by being filled with the Spirit (Jesus himself had the Spirit descend on him), putting on the new man means no longer getting drunk and filling oneself (and allowing oneself to be filled) with anything but the Spirit. Clearly, the message of Eph. 4:1 continues in this section, as the usage of the verb "to walk" continues; walking in a worthy manner means being careful that one is living as wise, and understanding the will of the Lord and being filled with the Spirit and by the Spirit (resulting from how we interact with others and with our hearts toward God and also as a purpose, i.e. Christians are to perform v 19-21 in order that God will work through that to fill other CHristians with his Spirit--God delights to use the unity of the body and the encouragement of worship to fill his people with his Spirit! other notes: getting drunk fills one up physcially, being filled with the Spirit (which happens through encouragement through psalms/hyms/singing) does this as well...and it is God who fills us with his Spirit through these things (his Word, spoken through others, etc.). Q: Verse 17 seems to be the key here...how does it fit in with the idea of walking (verse 15), and where does it fit in with the rest of the passage? Q: What does it look like to be filled with the Spirit? getting drunk fills one up physcially, being filled with the Spirit (which happens through encouragement through psalms/hyms/singing) does this as well...and it is God who fills us with his Spirit through these things (his Word, spoken through others, etc.).
