“That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;”
So as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God — the purpose (hopōs) of filled knowledge is worthy living. 'Walk' (peripatēō) indicates daily conduct. 'Worthy of the Lord' (axiōs tou kyriou) matches conduct to Christ's status. 'Bearing fruit in every good work' (karpoforeo en panti ergō agathō) shows works as fruit of the gospel. 'Increasing in the knowledge of God' (auxanō en epignōsis tou Theou) continues growth-language: sanctification is dynamic, not static.
