This is an interesting
word. It does not require a lot of
explanation, only a mention that in the language of the earlier translations of
the Bible, this word did not mean (as it does today) merely that which you
speak. It also means the way in which
you act, think and the overall picture you present to others who are observing
you.
In other words, when the Scriptures say, “But as He which
hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation,” (1Pet
1:15) it does not refer merely to the spoken word (although this idea is
definitely included) but to all manner of dealings including social, business
and casual.
