This word is not used in scripture in the sense of familiar discourse. It occurs in the O.T. in Psalm 37:14; Psalm 50:23 , and refers to the walk; it reads in the margin 'the upright of way,' 'that disposeth his way.' In the N.T. the word ἀνασττοφή has a similar sense of 'walk, conduct, behaviour,' Galatians 1:13; Ephesians 4:22; 1 Timothy 4:12; and in all other passages except Philippians 1:27; and Philippians 3:20 (where it is πολίτευμα, 'citizenship' which for the Christian is in heaven, separating him from citizenship on earth and its politics); and Heb.13:5, τρόπος,'general manner of life.'
