This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
5:1 Living in God’s light
5 So imitate God like valued children would imitate their father 2 [ref]and immerse yourselves in love just as the messiah loves you all and allowed himself to suffer for us as an offering and sacrifice which is like a pleasant fragrance to God.
3 It’s fitting for dedicated believers to not even entertain thoughts of sexual immorality or impurity or greed. 4 Nor is dirty or foolish talk or crude joking fitting, but rather thankfulness. 5 You should realise that anyone who is sexually immoral or impure or is a covetous or idolatrous person won’t have an inheritance in the kingdom of the messiah and of God.
6 Don’t let anyone seduce you with empty talk, because this is exactly what will induce God’s strong anger on those who’re disobedient. 7 So don’t get caught up with them 8 because you yourselves were once in the darkness but now that you are in the master’s light, you should behave like children of light. 9 The results of this light should be goodness and doing what is right and being honest 10 as you aim to please our master. 11 Don’t join in with the works of darkness which don’t lead to positive results, but instead you all should expose them 12 because the things that unbelievers do in secret are disgraceful to even talk about. 13 But everything will eventually have the light shone on it and all these things will then be exposed. 14 That’s why it says:
You who’re asleep get up,
You who’re dead come back to life,
The messiah will shine his light on you.
15 Because of that, take great care in exactly how you’re living. Don’t live like fools, but like wise people, 16 [ref]making good use of your time, because there’s lot of evil these days. 17 So don’t be foolish, but rather strive to discover what the master wants for you.
18 And don’t get drunk on alcohol because that’s excessive. Instead, be filled with God’s spirit, 19 [ref]sharing scriptures with each other and singing hymns and songs to praise our master, 20 always expressing thanks for everything to our father God in the authority and name of our master, Yeshua the messiah. 21 And show your honour of the messiah by placing yourselves under each other’s authority.
Exo 29:18:
18 Then burn it all on the altar. That will be a burnt offering to me—a pleasing aroma from the offering by fire.[ref]
Psa 40:6:

Col 4:5:
5 [ref]Use wisdom as you all walk towards non-believers, using the time wisely.
Col 3:16-17:
16 [ref]and that the messiah’s message is a rich part of you with all its wisdom as you teach and give advice to each other. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankfulness in your hearts. 17 Then give thanks to God the father through the name of Messiah Yeshua in everything—whatever you’re all saying or doing.
