Thus, it’s these kinds of contradictory behaviors, contradictory walking, if you will, that Paul is warning us against. He says, rather, that we need to have “wisdom” in how we walk. To “Walk in wisdom toward outsiders.” That means being generally consistent with what seems to be of noble character, what the common society (in our case the United States), thinks to be of good character. That’s how we “Walk in wisdom.” If we are walking in ways that seem questionable—ways that even unbelievers wouldn’t do—that’s not good. Even unbelievers have limits, and we should still yet rise above those so that we are standing out in a good way. We don’t want to be the same as them, where, one can hardly tell the difference. If there really isn’t anything different you can tell about us, as Christians, then what’s the point? How are we going to shine our lights, be trustworthy models, and perhaps indeed lead individuals toward the truth, toward a relationship with God, if we are, in fact, pretty similar to everyone else.
