OET (OET-RV) Because of that, take great care in exactly how you’re living. Don’t live like fools, but like wise people,
βλέπετε οὖν ἀκριβῶς πῶς περιπατεῖτε, μὴ ὡς ἄσοφοι, ἀλλ’ ὡς σοφοί
/be/_watching_out therefore exactly how ˱you_all˲_/are/_walking not as unwise but as wise
People who are unwise do not guard themselves against sin. Wise people, however, can identify sin and flee from it. Alternate translation: “Therefore, you must be careful to live as a wise person rather than a foolish person”
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
οὖν
therefore
The connecting word therefore introduces a reason-result relationship. The reason is that Christ has shown the light on him. The result is that the sinner will walk carefully in the light. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result.
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
ἀλλ’
but
The connecting word but introduces a contrast relationship. Being unwise is in contrast to being wise.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὡς σοφοί
as as wise
The verb “walk” is left out. You can state this clearly. Alternate translation: “walk as wise”
5:15 Fools have no understanding of God and his ways, but those who are wise do know God and understand his ways (see Job 28:28; Prov 1:7; 2:1-22).
OET (OET-RV) Because of that, take great care in exactly how you’re living. Don’t live like fools, but like wise people,
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
