OET (OET-RV) After that the assemblies[fn] of believers throughout Yudea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and grew in their respect and service of the master, also well as increasing in numbers through the encouragement of the holy spirit.
9:31 Lit. ‘assembly’ (singular). Jonathan Leeman in ‘One Assembly’ makes a good case that the force of κατά ‘throughout’ contributes to making the force of ἐκκλησία plural in this sentence (similar to Luke’s use in Luke 4:14, 23:5, Acts 9:42, 10:37).
OET-LV The indeed Therefore assembly throughout all of_ the _Youdaia, and Galilaia/(Gālīl), and Samareia/(Shomrōn), was_having peace, being_built and going in_the fear of_the master, and it_was_being_multiplied in_the exhortation of_the holy spirit.
