rwp @1Peter:1:15 @{But like as he which called you is holy } (\alla kata ton kalesanta humas hagion \). This use of \kata \ is a regular Greek idiom (here in contrast with \sunsch ˆmatizomenoi \). "But according to the holy one calling you or who called you " (first aorist articular participle of \kale “\, to call ). God is our standard or pattern (\kata \), not our lusts . {Be ye yourselves also holy } (\kai autoi hagioi gen ˆth ˆte \). First aorist (ingressive ) passive imperative of \ginomai \, to become with allusion (\kai \ also ) to \kata \ (God as our example ), "Do ye also become holy ." For \anastroph ˆ\ (manner of life ) see verse 18 ; strkjv @2:12 ; strkjv @3:1-16 ; strkjv @James:3:13 ; strkjv @2Peter:2:7 |. Peter uses \anastroph ˆ\ eight times . The original meaning (turning up and down , back and forth ) suited the Latin word _conversatio_ ( _converto_ ), but not our modern "conversation " (talk , not walk ).
