IV WALK OF THE CALLED OUT

THE WALK 


WHAT  DOES THAT MEAN?

World English Bible   EPHESIANS 4

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

WALK is translated from (peripath'sai )    (peri--path'sai )

        (peri--) is a Greek preposition meaning to move around or about .

          This Greek word made it over into English? peripatetic

belonging or relating to the school of philosophy founded by Aristotle, who gave lectures while walking about the Lyceum in Athens

 traveling from place to place, especially working in several establishments and traveling between them.

WHAT MUST I DO?

          Walk! Obviously, if you have the normal function of your legs and are not impaired or handicapped you know how to walk, and normally walk.  If we think of walking about to mean your lifestye--the way you live then to catch the action...

       

In the verse considered  (peri--path'sai )  is walk about as someone worthy of your calling
