(Imitate/Behave like) God, because he loves you who are [as though you were] [SIM] his children.

Do everything in a way that shows that you love [people], just like Christ loved us and willingly died for us. He offered himself [to God as a sacrifice] that was very pleasing to God, [just like Jewish priests offered] sweet-smelling [animal] sacrifices to God [MET].
3 ᎡᏕᎵᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᏗᏂᏏᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏄᏓᎴᏒᏉ ᎦᏓᎭ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗ ᎠᎬᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏞᏍᏗ ᎧᏁᎢᏍᏙᏗ ᎤᏅ ᏱᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎢᏤᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏂᎵᎶᎲᏍᎦ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ;
Do not commit any kind of immoral act [DOU], and do not desire more things than you need. Do not [act in such a way that others could] even (spread rumors/talk) about your acting in such ways, because it is not appropriate/fitting for God’s people to do such things.
4 ᏞᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎢᎸᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎵᏍᎦᏁᏛ ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᏪᏢᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏃᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ; ᎠᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗᏱᏉᏍᎩᏂ [ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ] ᎤᎬᏫᏳᏎᏍᏗ.
Do not use obscene/shameful language when you talk to people. Do not talk foolishly. Do not use vulgar/indecent language, because it is not appropriate/fitting that God’s people should talk like that. Instead, tell people how much you thank [God for all he does for you].
5 ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏕᎵᏛ ᏗᏂᏏᎲᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎦᏓᎭᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗ ᎤᎬᎥᏍᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏰᎸᎯ ᎠᏓᏙᎵᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎤᏤᎵ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵᎪᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵᎪᎯ.
You can be sure of this: No person who is sexually immoral or who acts indecently/shamefully will be among those people whom God rules over [MET] [in heaven]. Neither will those who desire more things than they need. Such people worship their possessions [instead of worshipping God].
6 ᏞᏍᏗ ᎩᎶ ᎢᏥᎶᏄᎮᏔᏅᎩ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎬᏙᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏔᎳᏬᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏂᎷᏤᎭ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏧᏪᏥ.
Do not let anyone deceive you by suggesting that [God will really] not [punish people who commit such sins], because God certainly will punish [MTY] those who habitually disobey him [by doing such things].
7 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏂᎯ ᏱᏣᏠᏯᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᎾᎵᏩᏛᎡᎲᎢ.
So, do not commit the same kinds of deeds that such people do,
8 ᎢᎸᎯᏳᏰᏃ ᏥᎨᏒ ᎤᎵᏏᎬ ᎢᏤᎲᎩ, ᎪᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏛ ᎢᏤᎭ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ; ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏛ ᏧᏪᏥ ᎤᏁᏓᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏤᏙᎮᏍᏗ;
because formerly you [did not know God’s truth] [MET], [as those who] are in darkness [do not know what is around them]. But now [it is as though] you are in the light [MET] [because you know God’s truth] because of your relationship with the Lord [Jesus]. So do those things that those who know God’s truth [MET] should do.
9 ( ᎠᏓᏅᏙᏰᏃ ᎦᎾᏄᎪᏫᏍᎪ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎦᏰᎪᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, )
Keep in mind that [as] light [MET] causes [good things to grow], those who know God’s truth should do those things that are good, righteous, and honest.
10 ᎢᏥᎪᎵᏰᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎤᏰᎸᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ.
And as [you do that], try (to find out/to discover) what pleases the Lord.
11 ᎠᎴ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏱᏗᏣᎵᎪᏁᎮᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎬᏙᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎤᎵᏏᎩ ᏗᎦᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏕᏥᎬᏍᎪᎸᎥᏍᎨᏍᏗᏉᏍᎩᏂ.
Do not do the worthless deeds that the people (who are in [spiritual] darkness/who do not know God’s truth) [MET] do. Instead, let others know that those people’s deeds are worthless.
12 ᎤᏕᎰᎯᏍᏗᏳᏰᏃ ᎧᏁᎢᏍᏙᏗᏱᏉ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎾᎾᏛᏁᎲ ᎤᏕᎵᏒᎢ.
It is shameful for God’s people to even talk [among themselves about] those evil deeds that evil people do secretly and habitually.
13 ᏂᎦᎥᏍᎩᏂ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏗᎬᏍᎪᎸᏅᎯ ᏥᎨᏐ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏘ ᎬᏗ ᎬᏂᎨᎡ ᎢᏗᎬᏁᎸᎯ ᎨᏐᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏗᎬᏁᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏘ.
But when [God’s people rebuke those evil people about their deeds, it will be clear/evident how evil their deeds really are, just like] everything exposed to the light becomes visible {as light [MET] reveals everything [that we cannot see in the darkness]}.
14 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎯᎠ ᏂᎦᏪᎭ, ᎯᏰᎩ ᏂᎯ ᎯᎵᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᏔᎴᎲᎦ ᎩᏯᏓᏅᏏ ᏧᏂᏲᎱᏒᎯ ᎩᏯᏓᏑᏴᎢ, ᎦᎶᏁᏛᏃ ᏓᏣᏁᎵ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏘ.
[Just like something on which a light shines reflects that light] [MET], [whoever has learned God’s truth reveals that truth to others]. That is why [we believers] say this: You who are not aware of your sins, become aware of them [MET]! It is as though you are sound asleep, so wake up! Be like dead people who are becoming alive again! Christ will cause you to know God’s truth, just like a light [MET] that shines causes people to know what is in the darkness.
15 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏣᎦᏌᏯᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎢᏣᎴᏂᏓᏍᏗᏱ, ᏞᏍᏗ ᎤᏂᏁᎫ ᎢᏳᎾᏛᏁᏗ, ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎾᎢᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏳᎾᏛᏁᏗ,
So be very careful how you behave. Do not behave as foolish people do. Instead, behave as wise people do.
16 ᎢᏧᏓᎴᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎵᏱᎵᏒᎢ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᏲᎢᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ.
Use your time carefully, because these days [MTY] [people do] extremely evil [deeds].
17 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏂᏦᎵᎬᎾ ᏱᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎢᏦᎵᎩᏍᎩᏂ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎤᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᏅᎬᏫᏳᎯ.
So do not be foolish. Instead, understand what the Lord [Jesus] wants you to do, [and do it]!
18 ᎾᏍᎩ ᏞᏍᏗ ᎩᎦᎨ ᎠᏗᏔᏍᏗ ᏱᏗᏥᏴᏍᏕᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᏲᎢᏳ ᏥᎩ; ᎠᏓᏅᏙᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏥᎧᎵᏬᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.
Do not become drunk by drinking alcoholic drinks, since people are unable to control their behavior when they are drunk. Instead, let [God’s] Spirit control your [behavior] at all times [MTY].
19 ᏕᏣᎵᏃᎮᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏕᏨᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᎧᏃᎩᏍᏙᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᎸᏉᏙᏗ ᏗᎧᏃᎩᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᏗᎧᏃᎩᏍᏗ, ᏕᏥᏃᎩᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏙᏗᏣᏓᏅᏛ ᏗᏓᎴᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏕᏥᏃᎩᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ.
Sing to each other (Psalms/songs [with words from the] Scriptures), sing [other] songs [that the congregation knows], and songs [that God’s] Spirit [gives you]. Sing these Psalms and other songs sincerely to [praise] the Lord [Jesus].
20 ᎡᏣᎵᎡᎵᏤᎮᏍᏗ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨᎢ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎢᏨᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏚᏙᎥ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ;
At all times thank God, who is our [heavenly] Father, for everything, especially for what the Lord Jesus Christ [MTY] [has done for you].
21 ᏕᏣᏓᏙᎯᏳᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᏏᏴᏫᎭ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎡᏥᎾᏰᏍᎬᎢ.
[Humbly] submit yourselves to each other because you reverence Christ, [who is our example].
22 ᎢᏥᎨᏴ, ᎢᏨᏒ ᏗᎨᏥᏰᎯ ᏕᏦᎯᏳᏎᏍᏗ, ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᏥᎩ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
Because husbands have authority over [MET] their wives, just as all of us believers form one group [under the authority of] Christ, you women should submit yourselves to [the authority of your] husbands just as you submit yourselves to the Lord [Jesus]. He is the one who saves all his people [from the guilt of their sins].
23 ᎠᏍᎦᏯᏰᏃ ᏄᎬᏫᏳᏌᏕᎩ ᎤᏓᎵᎢ ᎡᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏄᎬᏫᏳᏌᏕᎩ ᏥᎩ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏡᎬ ᎠᏁᎲᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ ᎠᏰᎸᎢ.

Just like all believers submit themselves to [the authority of] Christ, the women must submit themselves completely to the [authority of] their husbands.
25 ᎢᏥᏍᎦᏯ, ᏕᏥᎨᏳᏎᏍᏗ ᏗᏣᏓᎵᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏧᎨᏳᏎ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏡᎬᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏓᏍᏕᎵᏍᎬ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏥᏚᏓᏲᏎᎢ,
Each of you husbands, love your wife as Christ loved all of [us who would become] believers, with the result that he willingly died for our sake,
26 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᎦᏅᎾ ᎢᏳᏩᏁᏗᏱ ᎦᏅᎦᎵᏍᎬᎢ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎬᏗᏍᎬᎢ ᎠᎹ ᏥᎪᏑᎴᏗᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
in order that he might (set us apart for himself/cause us to belong to him). That is, by [revealing his] message [to us], he wanted to [remove the guilt of our sin, just like people remove dirt from something] by washing it [MET].
27 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎠᎦᏔᎲ ᎤᏪᎪᏗᏱ ᏗᎬᏩᎸᏌᏛ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏡᎬᎢ, ᏄᏚᏯᏍᏛᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᏄᏓᏁᎪᏳᏒᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏄᏓᏓᎸᎾ; ᎾᏍᎦᏅᎾᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎠᎴ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎾᎫᎢᏍᏛᎾ.
[Christ did that] in order that he might cause all of us believers to be a glorious group of people that belong to him, people that do not have any moral flaws/imperfections, but instead might be completely pure [DOU] when he gathers us (to his presence/to himself).
28 ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎠᏂᏍᎦᏯ ᎤᏅᏒ ᏗᏂᏰᎸ ᏂᏚᏂᎨᏳᏒ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏱᏂᏚᏂᎨᏳᎭ ᏧᎾᏓᎵᎢ. ᎩᎶ ᎤᏓᎵᎢ ᏧᎨᏳᏐ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎤᏓᎨᏳᏐᎢ.
In the same way, each man should love his wife as he loves his own body. Men who love their wives, [it is as though] they love themselves.

This is shown by the fact that no one ever hated his own body. Instead, he feeds his own body and cares for it, just like Christ also cares for all us believers. We have become one group of believers that belongs to him [MET].
30 ᎠᏴᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏰᎸ ᏕᎦᏚᏓᏔ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏇᏓᎸ ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᎪᎳ.

[What someone has written in the Scriptures about people who marry is this], [When] a man and [a] woman [marry], they should ([permanently] leave/no longer live with) their fathers and mothers. They should be joined [as husband and] wife, and the two of them shall become [as though they were] one [MET] person.
32 ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᏕᎵᏗᏳ; ᎠᏎᏃ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎴ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏡᎬ ᎦᏥᏁᎢᏍᏗᎭ.
It is very difficult to understand the meaning of these things that God has now revealed to me, but [I am telling you that] those words [also] refer to [the relationship between] Christ and all those who belong to him.
33 ᎠᏗᎾ ᏂᏥᎥ ᎢᏥᏏᏴᏫᎭ ᎨᏒ ᎰᏩ ᏕᏥᎨᏳᏎᏍᏗ ᏗᏣᏓᎵᎢ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᏨᏒ ᏂᏣᏓᎨᏳᏒᎢ; ᎠᎨᏴᏃ ᎤᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎤᏰᎯ.
However, as for you(pl), each man must love his wife just as he loves himself, and each woman must respect her husband.
