Plain and simple

Verse thirteen catches my attention in the ESV:

“Therefore, preparing your minds for action…”

Sounds like God is saying, “talk yourself into getting off your laurels and get busy in my kingdom.” [1 Peter 1.13}

 

King James puts is this way, “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind.” I dunno, somehow that sounds a bit gross.

 

The always-loved MSV is blunt as always, “Get your head on straight, and get off your butt, there’s work to be done.”

 

Plain and simple.

This is what followers of Jesus should be doing.
