Be respectful

We usually say:
Fè respè'w which literally means to earn your respect.

If you want to say Be respectful in Haitian Creole, it's better to name the "object" such as:
Gen respè pou lòt.
Be respectful of others.
Have respect for others.

or
Respekte lèzòt yo.
Respect others.
Have respect for others.

or

I'm looking for the right ways to say "want to be." Li se dòktè. Li vle se dòktè. Kòrèk? Men... Li ro. (he's tall). Li vle se ro. ?? Does that work, or would I have to say something like "li vle fini ro" or something like that? Mesi!

There are really two best ways to say it:

The first one:  want to be ... → vle vin ... (which literally translates want to come/ become)
Examples:
1. He wants to be a doctor.
    Li vle vin yon doktè.

2. She wants to be skinny
    Li vle vin mens.

3. I want to be a servant.
    Mwen vle vin yon sèvitè

4. She wants to be like you.
    Li vle vin tankou'w

5. I want to be your friend
    Mwen vle vin zanmi'w

The second one: I want to be ... → Mwen vle pou'm ta ... which literally means I want for me to be ... (where the pronoun that comes after POU reflects the subject)
This second one can also be used for the sentences above.  AND .... it works well in sentences where it's hard to use VLE VIN such as #7 and #9.

6. I want to be my own boss.
    Mwen vle pou'm ta bòs tèt mwen.
    I want for me would be the boss of my head (literally :)

7. I want to be wherever you are.
    Mwen vle pou'm ta nenpòt kote ou ye.
    I want for me would be anywhere you are (literally)

8. He wants  to be taller.
    Li vle pou'l ta pi wo. 
    He wants for him would be more tall (literally)
    and you could also say:
    Li vle vin pi wo.
    He wants come more tall (literally)

9. They want to be with their mom.
    Yo vle pou yo ta ak manman yo.
     They want for them would be with mom their (literally)

10. She wants to be my girlfriend
      Li vle pou'l ta menaj mwen.
      She wants for her would be girlfriend my (literally)

P.S. you don't always have to use contractions after POU. You can say pou mwen ta (instead of pou'm ta), pou li ta (instead of pou'l ta), pou nou ta (instead of pou'n ta), etc...

AND... as you get comfortable using this 'second one', you'll start noticing that Haitians may use different tenses; past tense (vle pou pronoun te ...), present tense (vle pou pronoun ...).

How do I write the bible verse reference. For example: 1 John 1:9. Do you write it 1 Jan 1:9 and do you place the reference at the beginning or end of the verse?

Yes you write it as: 1 Jan 1:9
You say it as : En Jan En vèsè nèf
Most people write it at the end of the verse in Bible Study, but if your group is trying to memorize the verse (saying it out loud), then they'll 'chant' the verse reference first.

Lanmou’w se yon mèvèy, ki fèm e pa chanje

Hello, I am Haitian American and would like to incorporate the Lord's Prayer in French or Creole as part of the wedding ceremony. Can you post the prayer in French or Creole? It would be greatly appreciated.Blessings!

The Lord's Prayer in Creole

Nòtrepè a an Kreyòl

Papa nou ki nan syèl la,

Nou mande pou yo toujou respekte non ou.

Vin tabli gouvènman ou,

pou yo fè volonte ou sou latè, tankou yo fè li nan syèl la.

Pen nou bezwen an, ban nou li jòdi a.

Padonnen tou sa nou fè ki mal,

menm jan nou padonnen moun ki fè nou mal.

Pa kite nou nan pozisyon pou nou tonbe nan tantasyon,

men, delivre nou anba Satan.

Paske, se pou ou tout otorite, tout pouvwa ak tout louwanj, depi tout tan ak pou tout tan.

Amèn.

The Lord's Prayer in French

Le Notre Père en Français

Note Père qui es aux cieux

Que ton nom soit sanctifié

Que ton règne vienne

Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel

Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain quotidien

Pardonne-nous nos péchés

Comme nous pardonnons à ceux qui nous ont offensés

Et ne nous induit pas à la tentation 

Mais delivre nous du mal

Car c'est à toi qu'arpatiennent le reigne, la puissance et la gloire aux siècles des siecles.

Amen
