Colossians chapter 1, vs 9 - 10

 ... we pray ... let us be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding ... so that … we will walk worthy of the Lord pleasing Him ... being fruitful in every good work ... and … increasing in the knowledge of God ...

…the Greek word … translated as … worthy … in Colossians chapter 1, vs 10 … is … AXIOS … this Greek adverb has a literal translation … appropriately ... or ... we actually prefer an more literal meaning … as becoming ... we feel that Paul makes this statement in the context of our personal relationship with God ... if we consider a similar context … perhaps ourselves in relationship with our spouse or parents ... Paul's use of the adverb … as becoming … is a little more understandable ... a better fit to what close relationship means rather than the more puritan translation of … worthy … for AXIOS ... we feel that ... in our relationship with God ... we walk … as becoming … of the Lord ... so … if ... we continue ... to consider this literal translation of AXIOS ... and … our preferred meaning … as becoming ... there are just two other verses in which Paul uses … AXIOS …
