G2156 · Greek · New Testament
εὐσχημόνως
euschēmonōs
Adverb
Decently, becomingly, with propriety

Definition

From G2158 (euschēmōn, comely). In a becoming manner, with propriety and dignity.

Usage & Theological Significance

Euschēmonōs appears three times in practical ethics. Romans 13:13: 'Let us walk honestly.' 1 Corinthians 14:40: 'Let all things be done decently and in order.' 1 Thessalonians 4:12: 'Walk honestly toward them that are without.' The gospel produces not only inner transformation but outward dignity. Christian freedom is not chaos — it is ordered beauty.
