Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Let us walk honestly, х euscheemonoos (G2156)] - 'becomingly,' 'decorously,'
As in the day - q.d., 'Men choose the night for their revels, but our night is past, for we are all the children of the light and of the day (1 Thessalonians 5:5): let us therefore only do what is fit to be exposed to the light of such a day.'
Not in rioting and drunkenness - varied forms of intemperance; denoting revels in general, usually ending in intoxication;
Not in chambering and wantonness - varied forms of impurity; the one pointing to definite acts, the other more general; not in strife and envying-varied forms of that venomous feeling between man and man which reverses the law of love.
