“Walk” is peripateō (περιπατεω), “to order one’s behavior, to conduct one’s self.” “Worthy” is axiōs (ἀξιως). When this word is used with the genitive case as it is here, it means, “having the weight of (weighing as much as) another thing.” It means, “of like value, worth as much.” The saints are to see to it that their manner of life, their conduct, weighs as much as the character of their Lord. That is, He is to be their example in life, and the copy must be like the example. [1]
