MSG (4-8)But friends, you’re not in the dark, so how could you be taken off guard by any of this? You’re sons of Light, daughters of Day. We live under wide open skies and know where we stand. So let’s not sleepwalk through life like those others. Let’s keep our eyes open and be smart. People sleep at night and get drunk at night. But not us! Since we’re creatures of Day, let’s act like it. Walk out into the daylight sober, dressed up in faith, love, and the hope of salvation.

γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of the contrast between night and day (see 5:8). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a further explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “Indeed,” or “As you know,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
οἱ & καθεύδοντες, νυκτὸς καθεύδουσιν; καὶ οἱ μεθυσκόμενοι, νυκτὸς μεθύουσιν
the_‹ones› & sleeping ˱by˲_night /are/_sleeping and the_‹ones› /being/_drunk ˱by˲_night /are/_being_drunk
Here Paul provides two parallel examples of what people do at night. He repeats the same structure and the phrase at night in both clauses, which emphasizes at night. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine the two examples into one clause and emphasize at night in another way. Alternate translation: “it is at night that people sleep and drunkards get drunk” or “the ones sleeping and the ones getting drunk do so during the night”
οἱ & καθεύδοντες, νυκτὸς καθεύδουσιν; καὶ οἱ μεθυσκόμενοι, νυκτὸς μεθύουσιν
the_‹ones› & sleeping ˱by˲_night /are/_sleeping and the_‹ones› /being/_drunk ˱by˲_night /are/_being_drunk
Here Paul provides common examples of what people sometimes do during the night. He is not using sleeping and getting drunk to speak about something else. If it would be helpful in your language, you make it clearer that Paul is providing examples from regular life. Alternate translation: “here are some things that people often do at night: they sleep, or they get drunk”
