Compare: Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the Greek noun στοιχεῖον (stoicheion), meaning "element" or "principle."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for στοιχέω, the concept of walking in accordance with divine instruction can be related to Hebrew terms such as הָלַךְ (halak, Strong's 1980), which means "to walk" or "to live," often used in the context of living according to God's commandments. Usage: The verb στοιχέω is used in the New Testament to describe living or conducting oneself according to a certain principle or standard. It implies a disciplined and orderly manner of life, often in alignment with spiritual or moral guidelines. Context: The Greek verb στοιχέω appears in the New Testament primarily in the Pauline epistles, where it conveys the idea of living in accordance with a particular rule or standard. It is used metaphorically to describe the Christian life as one that should be orderly and in harmony with the teachings of the Gospel.
