Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
οὖν
therefore
The word then indicates that what follows is a response. Here, then is a response to what Paul said in 9:20–29. See how you translated this phrase in 6:1.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν?
what therefore ˱we˲_/will_be/_saying
Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form in this sentence to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Then we will say this:”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὅτι ἔθνη
that /the/_pagans
Paul is leaving out some of the words that a sentence 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: “We will say that the Gentiles”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish
τὰ μὴ διώκοντα δικαιοσύνην
¬which not pursuing righteousness
This clause gives further information about the Gentiles. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the relationship between these phrases clearer. Alternate translation: “who are those people not pursuing righteousness”

See how you translated this word in 6:13.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐκ πίστεως
by faith
See how you translated this phrase in 4:16.

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.
