TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:1 Imitate God . . . in everything you do: Primarily by expressing love (5:2; cp. Matt 5:44-45, 48).
• because you are his dear children: Just as children follow their parents’ example, believers should follow God’s example (1 Cor 4:14-17).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Connecting Statement:

Connecting Statement:

Paul continues to tell the believers how they should and should not live as God’s children.

(Occurrence 0) γίνεσθε οὖν μιμηταὶ τοῦ Θεοῦ

/be/_becoming therefore imitators ¬the ˱of˲_God

The word imitators is a verbal noun, and can be translated with a verb. Alternate translation: “Therefore, imitate God” or “Therefore you should do what God does.”

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

The connecting word Therefore introduces a reason-result relationship. The reason (stated in Ephesians 4:32) is that God has forgiven us through Christ. The result (stated here) is that believers should imitate what God is like. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς τέκνα ἀγαπητά

as children beloved

God desires us to imitate or follow him since we are his spiritual children. Alternate translation: “as dearly loved children imitate their fathers” or “because you are his children and he loves you dearly”
