OET (OET-LV) But ourselves in ourselves the sentence of_ the _death we_have_had, in_order_that not having_trusted we_may_be in ourselves, but in the god, the one raising the dead,
OET (OET-RV) We were resigned in ourselves to the death sentence so that we wouldn’t trust in ourselves but in God who brings the dead back to life—
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
αὐτοὶ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς τὸ ἀπόκριμα τοῦ θανάτου ἐσχήκαμεν
ourselves in ourselves the sentence ¬the ˱of˲_death ˱we˲_/have/_had
Paul is comparing the certainty of death that they experienced to that of someone who receives a sentence of death, that is, an order from a judge that he must be executed. Alternate translation: “we were as sure of our own deaths as someone is who is condemned to die”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal
ἵνα
in_order_that
Here the connecting words so that introduce a goal or purpose relationship. The purpose that God had for Paul and his companions to feel that they would die is for them to trust in God. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀλλ’ ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ
but in ¬the God
Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but instead, we would be trusting in God”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τῷ ἐγείροντι τοὺς νεκρούς
¬the the_‹one› raising the dead
Here, raising the dead is an idiom for causing someone who has died to become alive again. Alternate translation: “who causes the dead to live again”
1:3-11 Paul now breaks into a jubilant thanksgiving. He is glad that, in spite of many troubles that have weighed upon him, he has had special comfort from God (1:4-7) and has been rescued from death in the province of Asia (1:8-11).

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.
