OET (OET-LV) Inoffensive both to_Youdaiōns be_becoming, and Hellaʸns, and to_the assembly of_ the _god.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἀπρόσκοποι καὶ Ἰουδαίοις γίνεσθε, καὶ Ἕλλησιν, καὶ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ
inoffensive both ˱to˲_Jews /be/_becoming and Greeks and ˱to˲_the assembly ¬the ˱of˲_God
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind offense, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “offend.” Alternate translation: “Do not offend either Jews or Greeks or the church of God”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καὶ Ἰουδαίοις & καὶ Ἕλλησιν, καὶ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ
both ˱to˲_Jews & and Greeks and ˱to˲_the assembly ¬the ˱of˲_God
Here the three groups to which Paul refers would include every person in Paul’s context. The Jews are those who practice Jewish customs and faith, while the church of God refers to everyone who believes in Jesus the Messiah. The word Greeks includes everyone else. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express these three groups and think that Paul is leaving some people out by clarifying that Paul includes everyone. Alternate translation: “to anyone, whether Jews or Greeks or the church of God”
10:31-33 Paul concludes his discussion by summarizing the two principles that are to guide Christian behavior in issues like this: (1) Believers are to do everything for the glory of God (see Col 3:17; 1 Pet 4:11); (2) believers are not to give offense and should avoid doing anything that would harm another person’s Christian faith (cp. 1 Cor 8:9, 13; 1 Jn 2:10). Christians’ behavior is to be guided by what is best for others rather than by personal privilege (cp. Rom 14:13-15, 19-21; 15:1-2). These two basic principles lie at the heart of Paul’s advice on practical Christian living in this letter.

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.
