Word Origin: From ὀρθός (orthos, meaning "straight") and ποδέω (podeō, meaning "to walk")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὀρθοποδέω, the concept of walking uprightly is present in the Hebrew Scriptures. For example, the Hebrew word יָשָׁר (yashar, Strong's Hebrew 3477) conveys a similar idea of uprightness or straightness, often used to describe righteous conduct in the sight of God. Another related term is תָּמִים (tamim, Strong's Hebrew 8549), meaning "blameless" or "complete," which also reflects the notion of living in accordance with divine standards.

Usage: This term is not directly used in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) but is conceptually related to the idea of living or walking in a manner consistent with the truth of the Gospel.

Context: The Greek word ὀρθοποδέω (orthopodeō) is derived from the combination of ὀρθός, meaning "straight" or "upright," and ποδέω, meaning "to walk." This compound verb conveys the idea of walking in a straight path, both literally and metaphorically. In a biblical context, it implies living in accordance with the principles and truths of the Christian faith.

Although ὀρθοποδέω itself does not appear in the Berean Standard Bible, its conceptual significance is reflected in passages that emphasize righteous living and adherence to the teachings of Jesus Christ. For example, the Apostle Paul frequently exhorts believers to "walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received" (Ephesians 4:1, BSB) and to "walk by the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16, BSB), which aligns with the idea of orthopodeō.

The term is notably used in Galatians 2:14 in the context of Paul's confrontation with Peter, where Paul accuses Peter of not being "straightforward about the truth of the gospel" (NASB). This incident underscores the importance of consistency between one's beliefs and actions, a theme central to the Christian ethical framework.
