It is often used in the New Testament to describe the ethical and moral conduct expected of believers, contrasting the former way of life before conversion with the new life in Christ.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, personal conduct was often linked to one's social status and philosophical beliefs. The early Christian community, however, emphasized a transformation of life that transcended cultural norms, focusing on holiness and godliness as a reflection of one's faith in Christ. This transformation was not merely external but involved a deep, inward change that manifested in outward behavior.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>391</b> <i>anastrophḗ</i> (from <a href="/greek/303.htm">303</a> <i>/aná</i>, "down to <i>up</i>" and <a href="/greek/4762.htm">4762</a> <i>/stréphō</i>, "turn") – properly, <i>up</i>-turning; (figuratively) change of outward <i>behavior</i> from an "up-turn" of inner beliefs (presuppositions, etc.).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/390.htm">anastrephó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>behavior, conduct<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>behavior (6), conduct (4), manner of life (2), way of life (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 391: ἀναστροφή</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀναστροφή</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀναστροφῆς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from the passive <span class="greek2">ἀναστρέφομαι</span>, see the preceding word), properly, 'walk,' i. e. <span class="accented">manner of life, behavior, conduct</span> (German <span class="foreign">Lebenswandel</span>): <a href="/interlinear/galatians/1-13.htm">Galatians 1:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/4-22.htm">Ephesians 4:22</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/4-12.htm">1 Timothy 4:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/james/3-13.htm">James 3:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/1-15.htm">1 Peter 1:15, 18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/2-12.htm">1 Peter 2:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/3-1f.htm">1 Peter 3:1f, 16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_peter/2-7.htm">2 Peter 2:7</a>; plural <span class="greek2">ἅγιαι</span> <span class="greek2">ἀναστροφαι</span> the ways in which holy living shows itself, <a href="/interlinear/2_peter/3-11.htm">2 Peter 3:11</a>.
