Exegesis
The comparative conjunction kathos {καθὼς | kath-ṓs} links this obligation to the model provided by ekeinos {ἐκεῖνος | e-keî-nos}, “that One,” whose earthly conduct is summarized by the aorist verb periepatesen {περιεπάτησεν | pe-ri-e-pá-tē-sen} “walked.”
In context — 1 John 2:6
The one who says he abides in Him ought also to live as that One lived .
