When these two words are compounded together, the new word means to walk around or to habitually live and carry on in one general territory. This is a compound of the word peri, which means around, and pateo, which means to walk. Paul makes this point in Second Corinthians 10:3 when he says, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.” The word “walk” in this verse is taken from the Greek word peripateo. Spiritual adversaries must be fought with spiritual weapons! And don’t try to defeat a spiritual enemy with fleshly weapons and techniques because fleshly weapons are for fighting fleshly adversaries they were never intended to defeat a spiritual foe. Make sure you keep that wonderful truth in mind the next time you have to deal with the devil’s attack on your life. You have been delivered from Satan’s power through the victorious, redemptive work of Jesus Christ. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.
