This word is not used in scripture in the sense of familiar discourse. It occurs in the O.T. in Ps. 37: 14; Ps. 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,' Gal. 1: 13; Eph. 4: 22; 1 Tim. 4: 12; and in all other
passages except Phil. 1: 27; and Phil. 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.'
