I Thessalonians 4:1-12

Walk In Holiness (4:1-8) “Walk” (vs.1) pres. act. inf. of peripateō (G4043) – to walk about. Walking is a favorite picture of Paul: – “…Walk worthy of the calling with which you were called” (Eph. 4:1) – “…Stop walking as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the emptiness of their mind” (Eph. 4:17) – “…Walk in love” (Eph. 5:2) – “Walk as children of light” (Eph. 5:8) (cf. I John 1:5-7) Our walk begins with a step of faith, which leads to a walk of faith. – “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (II Cor. 5:7) Walking suggests progress (Phil. 3:13-16).
