Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ὃν δεῖ οὐρανὸν μὲν δέξασθαι
whom ˱it˲_˓is˒_fitting heaven indeed ˓to˒_receive
Peter is speaking of heaven as if it were a person who has welcomed Jesus into his home. Alternate translation: [who must remain in heaven]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἄχρι χρόνων ἀποκαταστάσεως πάντων
until ˓the˒_times ˱of˲_restoration ˱of˲_all_‹things›
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word restoration, you could express the same idea with a verb such as “restore.” Alternate translation: [until the times when God will restore all things]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἀπ’ αἰῶνος
from ˓the˒_age
The expression from the age means that something happened a long time ago. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [long ago]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
διὰ στόματος τῶν ἁγίων & αὐτοῦ προφητῶν
by ˓the˒_mouth ˱of˲_the holy & ˱of˲_him prophets
Peter is using the mouth of the prophets to represent what they said by using their mouths. Alternate translation: [through what his holy prophets said]
3:12-26 The evangelistic speeches in the book of Acts focus on Jesus, the crucified and risen Lord. They call people to repentance and faith in Jesus as the promised Messiah and the divinely appointed Judge (2:38; 3:19; 11:18; 17:30; 26:20). They also offer the same Good News for the people of Israel and the Gentile world—“there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all” (10:36).

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.
