THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW - Chapter 24 - Verse 38
Verse 38. For as in the days, etc. The things mentioned here denote attention to the affairs of this life, rather than to what was coming on them. It does not mean that these things were wrong, but only that such was their actual employment, and that they were regardless of what was coming upon them.
