Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οὐδὲν διέκρινεν μεταξὺ ἡμῶν τε καὶ αὐτῶν
nothing ˱he˲_distinguished between us both and them
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb distinguish, which in this context means “discriminate.” Alternate translation: “he regarded them in the same way he regarded us”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμῶν
us
Peter is using the word us to refer to himself and his listeners, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῇ πίστει καθαρίσας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν
˱by˲_the faith /having/_purified the hearts ˱of˲_them
Peter speaks of God forgiving the Gentile believers’ sins as though God literally cleansed their hearts. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “having made them innocent because they believed in Jesus”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τῇ πίστει καθαρίσας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν
˱by˲_the faith /having/_purified the hearts ˱of˲_them
Here, the word hearts represents the inner beings of the Gentiles. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “having forgiven them because they believed in Jesus”
15:4-21 The first council of the church met to resolve the dispute concerning Gentiles and circumcision (15:1-2).
OET (OET-LV) and he_distinguished nothing between both us and them, having_purified the hearts of_them by_the faith.
OET (OET-RV) and when he purified their minds by the faith, he didn’t do anything different for them than he did for us.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
