Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὴν οἰκουμένην
the inhabited_world
Here the term world refers to the people who live in the world. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the people of the world]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ
in in righteousness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [by his own righteous standards]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ὥρισεν
in in by /a/_man ˱to˲_whom ˱he˲_designated
By the man, Paul implicitly means Jesus. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [by Jesus, the man whom he has appointed]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
πίστιν παρασχὼν πᾶσιν
faith /having/_brought_about ˱to˲_all
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of assurance, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [having given everyone reason to believe surely]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ἐκ νεκρῶν
from /the/_dead
Paul is using the adjective dead as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [from among those who have died]
17:16-34 In this chapter, we see Paul presented as a model witness for Christ, engaging the thinkers of his day and challenging them with the Christian message. Paul quoted writers his audience would be familiar with and showed the relevance of the gospel by dialoguing with them, critiquing their assumptions, and offering Jesus as a constructive alternative (see Col 1:28). Paul reminded these proud intellectuals that there is a living God to whom all human beings are answerable; that they will be judged by him through Jesus, whom God raised from the dead; and that they should therefore repent and put their faith in Jesus.

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.
