Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
περιπατήσωμεν
˱we˲_/may/_walk
Here, us refers to Paul and his Christian readers, so us would be inclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εὐσχημόνως περιπατήσωμεν
properly ˱we˲_/may/_walk
Here Paul uses walk to refer to how people behave or lives their lives. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Let us behave decently”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὡς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ
as in /the/_day
Here Paul refers to the unashamed way that Christians are supposed to behave as if they were walking during the day, when people can see what they do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “as if everyone can see what we are doing”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
μὴ κώμοις καὶ μέθαις, μὴ κοίταις καὶ ἀσελγείαις, μὴ ἔριδι καὶ ζήλῳ
not ˱in˲_carousing and drunkenness not ˱in˲_sexual_intercourse and wantonness not ˱in˲_strife and jealousy
Paul is leaving out some of the words that clauses would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “not walking in drunken celebrations or drunkenness; not walking in sexual immorality and uncontrolled lust, not walking in strife and jealousy”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
κώμοις & μέθαις & κοίταις & ἀσελγείαις & ἔριδι & ζήλῳ
˱in˲_carousing & drunkenness & ˱in˲_sexual_intercourse & wantonness & ˱in˲_strife & jealousy
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of celebrations, drunkenness, immorality, lust, strife, and jealousy, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “in being drunk while celebrating … being drunk … in acting sexually immorally … lusting uncontrollably … in quarreling with others … being jealous”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
κοίταις καὶ ἀσελγείαις
˱in˲_sexual_intercourse and wantonness
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize all kinds of sexual sins. If your language does not use repetition to do this, you could use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “in every kind of sexually immoral act”
13:12-13 the day of salvation: The word day reflects two sources. First, the Old Testament repeatedly predicts the day of the Lord when God’s plan culminates (see Isa 13:4-13; Jer 3:18; 30:8-9; Joel 2:1-32; Obad 1:15-18). Second, the tradition of moral instruction in the ancient world associated light/daytime with good and darkness/nighttime with evil. The Greeks, Romans, and Jews all used this contrast. Because believers belong to the day they should be living out its values, avoiding the dark deeds that are typical of nighttime.

OET (OET-RV) In the daytime we have to walk decently—not carousing on the street and being drunk, and not having sex and acting lustfully, not causing strife and acting jealously.
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.
