Exegesis
In the next clause, the adverb ouketi {οὐκέτι | ou-ké-ti} ‘no longer’ precedes the standard kata agapēn {κατὰ ἀγάπην | katà a-gá-pēn} ‘according to love’ and the present active peripateis {περιπατεῖς | pe-ri-pa-teîs} ‘walk,’ which frames moral conduct metaphorically as walking.
In context — Romans 14:15
For if your brother is grieved because of food, you are no longer walking according to love . Do not, by your food, bring to ruin the one for whom Christ died.
