OET interlinear ACTs 15:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι

˱we˲_˓are˒_believing ˓to_be˒_saved

Peter is using a construction in which the object is implied. Since the object is the same as the subject of the verb, the construction calls for the relative pronoun ourselves. Your language may have its own way of expressing the same meaning. Alternate translation: [we believe that we will be saved]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι

˱we˲_˓are˒_believing ˓to_be˒_saved

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 need to say who will do the action, it is clear from the context that it will be God. Alternate translation: [we believe that God will save us]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι

˱we˲_˓are˒_believing ˓to_be˒_saved

Peter is using the pronoun we and the implied pronoun ourselves to refer to himself and his listeners, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διὰ τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀλλά διά τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι καθʼ ὅν τρόπον κἀκεῖνοι)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [through what God has graciously done for us through the Lord Jesus]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀλλά διά τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι καθʼ ὅν τρόπον κἀκεῖνοι)

Peter means implicitly that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus and not by obeying the law of Moses. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand the sentence. Alternate translation: [through the grace of the Lord Jesus and not by obeying the law of Moses]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καθ’ ὃν τρόπον κἀκεῖνοι

in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀλλά διά τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι καθʼ ὅν τρόπον κἀκεῖνοι)

Peter is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [according to the way they also will be saved]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κἀκεῖνοι

also_those

Peter assumes that his listeners will know that he is using the pronoun they to refer to the Gentiles. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand this sentence. Alternate translation: [the Gentiles also will be saved]
