As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving — the correlation 'as... so' (hōs... houtōs) requires consistency: reception shapes conduct. 'Walk in him' (peripatēō en autō) continues in Christ. 'Rooted and built up' (rhizao kai oikodomeō) uses organic and architectural metaphors: growth and construction define Christian life. 'Established in faith' (bebaioō en tē pistei) uses legal language: faith is confirmed. 'Taught' (didachē) emphasizes received tradition, not novelty.
