Generally the goings out and in of social intercourse (Eph 2:3; Eph 4:22; R.V., “manner of life”); one’s deportment or course of life. This word is never used in Scripture in the sense of verbal communication from one to another (Ps 50:23; Heb 13:5). In Phil 1:27 and Phil 3:20, a different Greek word is used. It there means one’s relations to a community as a citizen, i.e., citizenship.
From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897), by Matthew George Easton.
