OET (OET-RV) On behalf of all the believers here, I’m writing to the assemblies of believers in Galatia.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἀδελφοί
/the/_brothers
Here, although the term brothers is masculine, Paul is using it in a generic sense to refer to fellow Christians, both men and women. Paul views all those who believe in Jesus as members of one spiritual family with God as their heavenly Father. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate explicitly what it means. Alternate translation: “brothers and sisters”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Γαλατίας
˱of˲_Galatia
Here, the word Galatia could refer to: (1) the Roman political province called Galatia. Alternate translation: “in the province of Galatia” or (2) the geographical region known as Galatia. Alternate translation: “in the region of Galatia” If it would help your readers, you could state explicitly what the word Galatia refers to here.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τῆς Γαλατίας
¬the ˱of˲_Galatia
Paul uses the possessive form here to describe churches that are in Roman political province called Galatia or in the geographical region known as Galatia. If this use of the possessive form is not clear in your language, you could clarify the meaning using a form that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “in the province of Galatia” or “in the region of Galatia”
1:2 the brothers and sisters here join me: Paul probably wrote from Antioch of Syria. Antioch was the hub of Paul’s ministry and the earliest center of Gentile Christianity (see Acts 11:20-26). Paul did not stand alone (as his opponents in Galatia might have suggested), but in fellowship with a significant New Testament church.
• The churches of Galatia were probably founded by Paul during his first missionary journey (Acts 13:4–14:26; see Galatians Book Introduction, “Recipients”).
OET (OET-RV) On behalf of all the believers here, I’m writing to the assemblies of believers in Galatia.
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.
