SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:21

¶ Y vivió Enoc sesenta y cinco años, y engendró a Matusalén.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 21-24 - Enoch was the seventh from Adam. Godliness is walking with God: whic shows reconciliation to God, for two cannot walk together except the be agreed, Am 3:3. It includes all the parts of a godly, righteous, an sober life. To walk with God, is to set God always before us, to act a always under his eye. It is constantly to care, in all things to pleas God, and in nothing to offend him. It is to be followers of him as dea children. The Holy Spirit, instead of saying, Enoch lived, says, Enoc walked with God. This was his constant care and work; while other lived to themselves and the world, he lived to God. It was the joy of his life. Enoch was removed to a better world. As he did not live lik the rest of mankind, so he did not leave the world by death as the did. He was not found, because God had translated him, Heb 11:5. He ha lived but 365 years, which, as men's ages were then, was but the mids of a man's days. God often takes those soonest whom he loves best; the time they lose on earth, is gained in heaven, to their unspeakabl advantage. See how Enoch's removal is expressed: he was not, for God took him. He was not any longer in this world; he was changed, as the saints shall be, who are alive at Christ's second coming. Those wh begin to walk with God when young, may expect to walk with him long comfortably, and usefully. The true christian's steady walk in holiness, through many a year, till God takes him, will best recommen that religion which many oppose and many abuse. And walking with God well agrees with the cares, comforts, and duties of life.
