That ye may walk honestly (hina peripatēte euschēmonōs). Present subjunctive (linear action). Old adverb from euschēmōn (eu, schēma, Latin habitus, graceful figure), becomingly, decently. In N.T. only here and Rom 13:13. This idea includes honest financial transactions, but a good deal more. People outside the churches have a right to watch the conduct of professing Christians in business, domestic life, social life, politics.
