It occurs in the O.T. in Ps 37:14; 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 ????????? has a similar sense of 'walk, conduct, behaviour,' Ga 1:13; Eph 4:22; 1Ti 4:12; and in all other passages except Php 1:27; and Php 3:20 (where it is ?????????, 'citizenship' which for the Christian is in heaven, separating him from citizenship on earth and its politics); and Heb.13:5, ??????, 'general manner of life.'
