These terms convey similar ideas of living in accordance with God's will and maintaining moral integrity. Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to describe the act of walking or behaving in a manner that is consistent with the truth of the Gospel. It implies a moral and ethical alignment with Christian teachings. Context: The term ὀρθοποδέω appears in the New Testament in Galatians 2:14, where the Apostle Paul confronts the Apostle Peter. Paul uses this term to describe Peter's behavior, which was not in line with the truth of the Gospel. In this context, Paul is addressing the issue of hypocrisy and inconsistency in Peter's actions, as Peter withdrew from eating with Gentile believers due to pressure from certain Jewish Christians. Paul emphasizes the importance of living in a manner that reflects the truth and unity of the Gospel message, without succumbing to external pressures or prejudices.
