Strong's Lexicon peripateó: To walk, to conduct oneself, to live Original Word: περιπατέω Word Origin: From the Greek words "peri" (around) and "pateó" (to walk) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is הָלַךְ (halak), which also means "to walk" or "to live." Usage: The verb "peripateó" primarily means "to walk" in a physical sense, but it is frequently used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe one's conduct or manner of life. It implies a continuous action or habitual lifestyle, often in the context of moral and spiritual behavior. The term is used to encourage believers to live in a manner worthy of their calling and to follow the teachings of Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, walking was a common metaphor for living one's life or conducting oneself in society. This metaphor was easily understood in the context of the Greco-Roman world, where philosophical schools often used the concept of "walking" to describe the pursuit of wisdom and ethical living. In the Jewish tradition, "walking" in God's ways was a central theme, emphasizing obedience to the Law and the pursuit of righteousness.
