(a) physically, in the Synoptic Gospels (except Mar 7:5); always in the Acts except in Act 21:21; never in the Pauline Epistles, nor in those of John;

(b) figuratively, "signifying the whole round of the activities of the individual life, whether of the unregenerate, Eph 4:17, or of the believer, 1Cr 7:17; Col 2:6. It is applied to the observance of religious ordinances, Act 21:21; Hbr 13:9, marg., as well as to moral conduct.
