OET interlinear GAL 3:26

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

υἱοὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πάντες Γάρ υἱοί Θεοῦ ἐστέ διά τῆς πίστεως ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ)

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

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πάντες Γάρ υἱοί Θεοῦ ἐστέ διά τῆς πίστεως ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ)

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]
