men brothers sons ˱of˲_/the/_descent ˱of˲_Abraham and you_all among you_all revering ¬the God

Paul is using an idiomatic form of address. Alternate translation: “My brothers—my fellow sons of the family of Abraham—and you others who fear God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφοί, υἱοὶ γένους Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ οἱ ἐν ὑμῖν φοβούμενοι τὸν Θεόν

brothers sons ˱of˲_/the/_descent ˱of˲_Abraham and you_all among you_all revering ¬the God

Paul is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. Alternate translation: “My fellow believers”

υἱοὶ

sons

Paul is using the term sons to mean “descendants.” Alternate translation: “descendants”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῖν

˱to˲_us

Here the word us includes Paul and his entire audience in the synagogue, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks this distinction.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ λόγος τῆς σωτηρίας ταύτης ἐξαπεστάλη

the word ¬the ˱of˲_salvation this /was/_sent_away

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, it is clear from the context that this was God. Alternate translation: “God has sent the word about this salvation”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ λόγος

the word

Paul is using the term word to mean the message that God sent about Jesus by using words. Alternate translation: “the message”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς σωτηρίας ταύτης

¬the ˱of˲_salvation this

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “how God is saving people”
