Strong's Lexicon orthopodeó: To walk uprightly, to walk straight Original Word: ὀρθοποδέω Word Origin: From the Greek words ὀρθός (orthos, meaning "straight" or "upright") and ποδός (podos, meaning "foot"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὀρθοποδέω, the concept of walking uprightly is present in the Hebrew Scriptures, often expressed with words like יָשָׁר (yashar, meaning "straight" or "upright") and תָּמִים (tamim, meaning "blameless" or "complete"). Usage: The verb ὀρθοποδέω is used to describe the act of walking in a straight or upright manner, both physically and metaphorically. In a metaphorical sense, it refers to living in accordance with the truth of the Gospel, maintaining integrity and consistency in one's conduct as a believer. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, walking uprightly was often associated with moral integrity and ethical behavior. The concept of walking in a straight path was a common metaphor for living a life that aligns with societal and religious norms. In the context of early Christianity, this metaphor was adapted to emphasize living in accordance with the teachings of Jesus and the apostles.
