to walk
Peripateo describes bodily movement on foot and, more often, a person's ongoing manner of conduct within a stated sphere or standard.
The dominant use describes an ongoing manner of conduct, qualified by such expressions as according to a human, in truth, in wisdom, or in love. It also denotes literal movement on foot, including healed people beginning to move, Jesus moving in particular places, and movement toward a field or on the sea.

Conduct according to a stated way or standard · dominant
Present forms describe continuing conduct rather than a single step: in 1 Corinthians 3:3 the clause places it "according to a human" amid zeal and quarrel, while in 1 John 1:6 and 1 John 1:7 it is set respectively in darkness and in light. Imperative plural forms in Colossians 2:6, Colossians 4:5, and Ephesians 5:2 direct conduct "in him," "in wisdom," and "in love" in the APB's rendering.

Moving about on foot · common
In Acts 3:6 the singular command occurs after Peter's address to a man, and Acts 3:8 uses imperfect and present participial forms as the man begins moving, enters the sacred place, and is seen praising God. Other clauses place the movement in concrete locations: Jesus is "walking in the sacred place" in John 10:23, is seen "walking on the sea" in John 6:19, and two people are walking toward a field in Mark 16:12.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB commonly uses "walk" both for concrete movement and for conduct qualified by expressions such as "in the light," "in truth," and "in wisdom." Those English phrases confirm the clause-level presentation rather than establishing a separate rendering for every occurrence.
