Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).

• Paul and Barnabas . . . appointed elders: See “Church Leaders” Theme Note.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ἐπιστηρίζοντες τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν μαθητῶν
strengthening the souls ˱of˲_the disciples
Luke is using one part of the disciples, their souls, to represent their entire beings as believers in Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “They were strengthening the disciples”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
παρακαλοῦντες ἐμμένειν τῇ πίστει
exhorting_‹them› /to_be/_remaining_in ˱in˲_the faith
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “encouraging them to keep believing in Jesus”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
καὶ ὅτι διὰ πολλῶν θλίψεων, δεῖ ἡμᾶς εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ
and that through many tribulations ˱it˲_/is/_fitting us /to/_come_in into the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God
You may want to have an indirect quotation here, if that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and saying that it was necessary for all of them to enter into the kingdom of God through many afflictions”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
δεῖ ἡμᾶς εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ
˱it˲_/is/_fitting us /to/_come_in into the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God
See the discussion of the concept of the kingdom of God in Part 2 of the General Introduction to Acts. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun kingdom with a noun such as “king.” Alternate translation: “It is necessary for us to endure many afflictions in order to live in allegiance to God as our true king”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
δεῖ ἡμᾶς εἰσελθεῖν
˱it˲_/is/_fitting us /to/_come_in
By us, Paul and Barnabas mean both themselves and the believers to whom they were speaking, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
