Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἀναστροφή, ἀναστροφῆς, ἡ (from the passive ἀναστρέφομαι, see the preceding word), properly, ’walk,’ i. e. manner of life, behavior, conduct (German Lebenswandel): Gal 1:13; Eph 4:22; 1Ti 4:12; Jas 3:13; 1Pe 1:15; 1Pe 1:18; 1Pe 2:12; 1 Peter 3:1f, 16; 2Pe 2:7; plural ἅγιαι ἀναστροφαι the ways in which holy living shows itself, 2Pe 3:11. Hence, life in so far as it is comprised in conduct, Heb 13:7.
