This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And that knowing the time - now
Referring to the injunction of Rom 13:8. Knowing, seeing that ye know. The time (τὸν καιρόν), the particular season or juncture. Rev., season. See on Mat 12:1. Now (ἤδη), better, already.
Our salvation (ἡμῶν ἡ σωτηρία)
Others, however, and better, as Rev., construe ἡμῶν of us (salvation of us, i.e., our) with nearer, and render salvation is nearer to us. This is favored by the order of the Greek words. The other rendering would lay an unwarranted emphasis on our. The reference is apparently to the Lord's second coming, rather than to future glory.
