* **Walk in Christ Jesus the Lord** - This is an expression for living in a certain manor or consistent way. (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_idiom]])
* **that you received him** - "that you Colossian believers received Christ"
* **Be firmly planted in him, be built upon him** - Paul uses two metaphors (the first of a plant with deep roots, the second of a well-constructed building) to describe the way in which believers ought to live and mature spiritually.
