# We have been praying

The word "we" does not include the Colossians. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]])

# that you will walk worthily of the Lord in

Walking here signifies behavior in life. Alternate translation: "that you will live as God expects you to, in" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# in pleasing ways

"in ways that will please the Lord"

# will bear fruit

Paul is speaking of the Colossian believers as if they were trees or plants. As a plant grows and bears fruit, so also believers are to keep getting to know God better and doing good deeds. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
