It implies a sense of orderliness and alignment with a prescribed path or set of guidelines. In a spiritual context, it often refers to living in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Spirit or the principles of the Christian faith.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "stoicheó" would have been understood in terms of military or civic order, where individuals were expected to align themselves with societal norms or regulations. In the context of early Christianity, this term took on a spiritual dimension, emphasizing the importance of living in harmony with the teachings of Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4748</b> <i>stoixéō</i> (from <i>stoixos</i>, "a <i>row</i>, <i>line</i>, or <i>rank</i>") – properly, walk <i>in line</i>, in strict accordance to a particular pace ("stride");<i> walk in cadence</i>, "keep in step."</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 stoichos (a row)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be in rows, fig. to walk by rule<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>follow (1), living (1), walk (2), walk orderly (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 4748: στοιχέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">στοιχέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">στοίχω</span>; future <span class="greek2">στοιχήσω</span>; (<span class="greek2">στοῖχος</span> a row, series); <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">to proceed in a row, go in order</span>: <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, Cyril 6,3,34; metaphorically, <span class="accented">to go on prosperously, to turn out well</span>: of things, <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/11-6.htm">Ecclesiastes 11:6</a> for <span class="hebrew">כָּשֵׁר</span>. <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">to walk</span>: with a locative dative (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 31, 1 a. cf. p. 219 (205); yet cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 133, 22 b.). <span class="greek2">τοῖς</span> <span class="greek2">ἴχνεσι</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span>, in the steps of one, i. e. follow his example, <a href="/interlinear/romans/4-12.htm">Romans 4:12</a>; <span class="accented">to direct one's life, to live,</span> with a dative of the rule (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, as above), <span class="greek2">εἰ</span> <span class="greek2">πνεύματι</span> ... <span class="greek2">στοιχῶμεν</span>, if the Holy Spirit animates us (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ζάω</span></span>, I. 3 under the end), let us exhibit that control of the Spirit in our life, <a href="/interlinear/galatians/5-25.htm">Galatians 5:25</a>; <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">κανόνι</span>, according to the rule, <a href="/interlinear/galatians/6-16.htm">Galatians 6:16</a>; <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">αὐτῷ</span> (where <span class="manuref">Rec.</span> adds <span class="greek2">κανόνι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/philippians/3-16.htm">Philippians 3:16</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 43, 5 d.; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 140, 18 at the end), (<span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">παραδειγματι</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span>, Clement, hom. 10, 15); with a participle denoting the manner of acting, <span class="greek2">στοιχεῖς</span> <span class="greek2">τόν</span> <span class="greek2">νόμον</span> <span class="greek2">φυλάσσων</span>, so walkest as to keep the law (<span class="abbreviation">A.
