Thayer's Expanded Definition

σκοπέω, σκόπω; (σκοπός, which see); from Homer down; to look at, observe, contemplate. to mark: absolutely, followed by μή with the indicative (see μή, III. 2), Luke 11:35; τινα, to fix one's eyes upon, direct one's attention to, anyone: Romans 16:17; Philippians 3:17; σεαυτόν, followed by μή with the subjunctive to look to, take heed to thyself, lest etc. Galatians 6:1 (see μή, II. 1 b.); τί, to look at, i. e. care for, have regard to, a thing: 2 Corinthians 4:18; Philippians 2:4 (2 Macc. 4:5). (Compare: ἐπισκόπω, κατασκοπέω.) [SYNONYMS: σκοπεῖν is more pointed than βλέπειν; often equivalent to to scrutinize, observe. When the physical sense recedes, equivalent to to fix one's (mind's) eye on, direct one's attention to, a thing in order to get it, or owing to interest in it, or a duty toward it. Hence, often equivalent to aim at, care for, etc. Schmidt, Syn., chapter 11: Cf. θεωρέω, ὁράω.]

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

From meaning ";am in rows,"; ";walk in line,"; στοιχέω came to be used metaphorically, ";walk by or in,"; as a rule of life : cf. Philippians 3:16 (Vg in eadem permaneamus regula). A striking parallel to Romans 4:12 is afforded by Syll 325 (= .3708).5 (ii/B.C.) where a certain Aristagoras is praised for walking in the steps of his father and forbears—καὶ αὐτὸς στοιχεῖν βουλόμενος καὶ τοῖς ἐκείνων ἴχνεσιν ἐπιβαίνειν : cf. ib. 929 (=.3685).18 (B.C. 139) τῆς δὲ συνκλήτου στοιχού [σης τῆι παρ᾽ ἑαυ ]τῆι πρ [ὸς πάντας ἀνθρώ ]πους ὑπαρχούσηι δικαιοσύνηι, and from the inscrr. Priene 112.113 (B.C. 84) στοιχεῖν τ [ῇ πρὸς τὸν δῆμον φιλαγαθίᾳ, and ib. 110.21 (i/B.C.) ταῖς κατὰ τὴν ἡλικίαν [ἀρεταῖς ] στοιχεῖν (see Rouffiac, p. 34). See also Musonius p. 102.9 στοιχεῖν ἀρίστῳ ὄντι τῷ λόγῳ Σωκράτους. The construction with the dat., as in the NT, is thus amply attested : cf. Blass Gr. p. 119.

The verb is common in the phrase στοιχεῖ μοι, ";agreed to by me,"; e.g. P Oxy I. 126.21 (A.D. 572) στοιχῖ μοι τὸ παρὸν ἐπίσταλμα, ib. VIII. 1137.5 (A.D. 562–3) στέχι με ̣ (l. στοιχεῖ μοι). Cf. also P Flor I. 65.22 (A.D. 570–1?) Αὐρήλιος. . . στοιχῖ τοῦτο τὸ γρ [αμμάτιον ὡς π ]ρόκειται, and BGU IV. 1020.17 (vi/A.D.) Ἀβραὰμ Φοι (βαμμῶνος) στοιχεῖ.

For the subst. στοῖχος, cf. P Oxy VIII. 1119.12 (A.D. 254) τοῦ στοίχου καταλαβόντος τὴν ἡμετέραν βουλὴν τῷ ἐνεστῶ [τι ἔτει, ";since the turn has come to our senate in the present year"; (Ed.), and for the compd. σύστοιχος, cf. BGU IV. 1205ii.9 (B.C. 28) οὐδὲ γὰρ σύνστοιχοι ἑατῶν [γ ]ίνεσθε, ";for you contradict yourselves.";
