OET interlinear GAL 2:15

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμεῖς

we_‹are›

When Paul says We, it could be: (1) inclusive if Paul is still addressing Peter. If you decide that this verse is a continuation of the quotation that began in 2:14, then We is inclusive because Paul is still addressing Peter and would be including Peter and the Jewish Christians in Antioch. Your language may require you to mark these forms. (2) exclusive if you decide that Paul’s quotation of his words to Peter ended at the end 2:14.

ἡμεῖς φύσει Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ οὐκ ἐξ ἐθνῶν ἁμαρτωλοί

we_‹are› ˱by˲_nature Jews and not of /the/_pagans sinners

Alternate translation: “We had Jewish parents and are not Gentiles”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐξ ἐθνῶν ἁμαρτωλοί

of /the/_pagans sinners

The word sinners was used by Jews as a synonym for non-Jews because non-Jews did not have or adhere to the law of Moses. Paul is not saying that only non-Jewish people are sinners. The rest of this letter will make clear that both Jews and non-Jews are sinners and need God’s forgiveness. If it would help your readers, you could indicate explicitly that the term sinners is what Jews called non-Jews. Alternatively, you could state the meaning in plain language. Alternate translation: “non-Jews who do not have or follow the law of Moses”
