you know, i thought i was simply still so much asleep that i didn't find the verse, and wanted to look up for myself whether it was 'walk' or 'live'.
the greek text says περιπατουμεν which comes from περιπατεω, which primarily means to walk around, walk, hike, walk (on) your path, but also derivated from the, to live your life. actually i like to translate it with 'hike' for it is more than just a walk or a little stroll. it is a hike: long, sometimes strenuous, but worth it when you're on top of the mountain and look at the way you've come, and see the landscape/view beneath...
