1 Strong's Number: g4043 Greek: peripateo

Walk:

is used

(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. The Christian is to walk in newness of life, Rom 6:4, after the spirit, Rom 8:4, in honesty, Rom 13:13, by faith, 2Cr 5:7, in good works, Eph 2:10, in love, Eph 5:2, in wisdom, Col 4:5, in truth, 2Jo 1:4, after the commandments of the Lord, 2Jo 1:6. And, negatively, not after the flesh, Rom 8:4; not after the manner of men, 1Cr 3:3; not in craftiness, 2Cr 4:2; not by sight, 2Cr 5:7; not in the vanity of the mind, Eph 4:17; not disorderly, 2Th 3:6." *
