Conversation

/kon-ver-SAY-shun/

Summary

In biblical usage, not merely speech but one's entire manner of life, conduct, and behavior—encompassing all words and deeds.

☩Biblical Meaning

In Scripture, 'conversation' always refers to one's course of life or deportment, including all words and acts—not merely verbal communication as in modern usage. Believers are called to have their conversation honest among the Gentiles and to let it be as becomes the gospel.
