Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, orange:accents differ (from our SR-GNT base).
15:26 Paul founded churches in several prominent cities in Macedonia, including Philippi, Thessalonica, and Berea. In Achaia, Paul had preached in Athens and founded the church in Corinth (see Acts 16–18).
• the poor among the believers in Jerusalem: Jewish Christians in Jerusalem were suffering from famines that had hit the area (see Acts 11:27-30) and also because their faith in Christ caused them to be ostracized from Jewish society.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For indicates that what follows is the reason why Paul is going to minister to the saints in Jerusalem, as stated in the previous verse. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation (without a comma following): “I am going to Jerusalem because”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
εὐδόκησαν & Μακεδονία καὶ Ἀχαΐα
took_pleasure & Macedonia and Achaia
Paul uses Macedonia and Achaia here to refer to the Christians who lived in those areas. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the believers in Macedonia and Achaia were well-pleased”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
κοινωνίαν τινὰ ποιήσασθαι
/a/_fellowship certain /to/_make
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of contribution, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to contribute a certain amount”
