OET (OET-LV) Therefore indeed the assemblies were_being_strengthened in_the faith, and they_were_being_plentiful the in_number in_every day.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
αἱ & ἐκκλησίαι ἐστερεοῦντο τῇ πίστει
the & assemblies /were_being/_strengthened ˱in˲_the faith
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 did the action, it is clear from the context that it was Paul, Silas, and Timothy. Alternate translation: [Paul, Silas, and Timothy were strengthening the churches in the faith]
16:4-5 Paul and Silas faithfully communicated the decisions of the Jerusalem council. The wisdom of the decision was indicated as the churches were strengthened in their faith and grew larger every day (cp. 2:41; 4:4; 5:14; 6:1; 9:31; 21:20).
OET (OET-LV) Therefore indeed the assemblies were_being_strengthened in_the faith, and they_were_being_plentiful the in_number in_every day.
OET (OET-RV) So the assemblies were strengthened in this way and their numbers were increasing each day.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
