Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
υἱοὶ
sons
Although the term sons is masculine, Paul is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women who have faith in Christ Jesus. Alternate translation: [sons and daughters] or [children]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
υἱοὶ
sons
Paul speaks of the Galatian believers as if God were their biological or physical father. He means that these people have a father-son relationship with God because they trust in Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the spiritual children]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῆς πίστεως
¬the faith
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea with a verb such as “trust,” or you could express the meaning in some other way that is natural in your language.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
in Christ Jesus
The phrase in Christ Jesus could mean: (1) that the spiritual position of the Galatian believers was in Christ Jesus. Alternate translation: [you are in union with Christ Jesus] (2) that Christ Jesus was the object of Galatian believers faith. Alternate translation: [which is in Christ Jesus] or [towards Christ Jesus]
3:26 Those who are children of God through faith in Christ Jesus (see also 4:4-7; John 1:12; Rom 9:8) have come of age as heirs of his promises (see Gal 3:24-25, 29) and have received the down payment of that inheritance (3:14; Eph 1:14). The Galatians were foolish (Gal 3:1) in trying to gain access to God through circumcision. As God’s children by faith, they already had the best possible access to God.
