Berean Strong's Lexicon anastrophé: Conduct, behavior, manner of life Original Word: ἀναστροφή Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀναστρέφω (anastrephō), meaning "to turn back" or "to conduct oneself." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent, the concept of conduct or way of life can be related to Hebrew terms such as דֶּרֶךְ (derek, H1870) meaning "way" or "path," which often implies a manner of living. Usage: The term "anastrophé" refers to one's conduct or manner of life, encompassing both outward behavior and inner disposition. It is often used in the New Testament to describe the ethical and moral conduct expected of believers, contrasting the former way of life before conversion with the new life in Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, personal conduct was often linked to one's social status and philosophical beliefs. The early Christian community, however, emphasized a transformation of life that transcended cultural norms, focusing on holiness and godliness as a reflection of one's faith in Christ. This transformation was not merely external but involved a deep, inward change that manifested in outward behavior.
