# walk properly
Here "walk" is a metaphor for "live" or "behave." Alternate translation: "behave properly" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# properly
in a way that shows respect to others and earns their respect
# before outsiders
Paul speaks of those who do not believe in Christ as if they are outside, in a place away from the believers. Alternate translation: "in the sight of those who do not believe in Christ" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
