Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
στοιχήσουσιν
/will_be/_aligning
See how you translated the similar use of walk in 5:16.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῷ κανόνι τούτῳ
¬the ˱by˲_principle this
Here, this standard refers to what Paul said in the previous verse, specifically the importance of someone being a new creation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “as new creations” or “as those to whom the Holy Spirit has given new lives”
Note 3 topic: translate-blessing
εἰρήνη ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἔλεος, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ Θεοῦ
peace_‹be› on them and mercy and on the Israel ¬the ˱of˲_God
Paul adds a blessing here. Use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. Alternate translation: “may they and the Israel of God experience peace and mercy”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
εἰρήνη ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἔλεος, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ Θεοῦ
peace_‹be› on them and mercy and on the Israel ¬the ˱of˲_God
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of peace and mercy, you could express the ideas in a different way. See how you translated peace in 1:3. Alternate translation: “may God make them feel peaceful and may he be merciful to them and to the Israel of God”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ Θεοῦ
and and and on the Israel ¬the ˱of˲_God
This could refer to: (1) Jews who believe in Jesus, in which case and functions as it usually does to connect two things. Alternate translation: “and upon the Jewish believers of God” (2) everyone who believes in Jesus, in which case and indicates that them refers to the same group of people as the Israel of God. Alternate translation: “that is, upon God’s people”
6:16 This principle is putting trust in Christ for salvation (6:14-15)
• they are the new people of God (literally and [or even] upon the Israel of God): The Greek conjunction kai, usually translated “and,” often means “even.” If it means and, then the Israel of God is a separate group from all who live by this principle; if it means even, then they are the same group. The Jewish people still have an identity before God (Rom 9:1-5; 10:1-4; 11:1-32). Gentiles who believe have been grafted in, and Jews who disbelieve have been pruned out of the spiritual Israel (Rom 11:17-24; cp. Phil 3:2-3; Col 2:11-12). Paul thus considers all Christians to be the true Israel (see Rom 2:28-29; 9:6-8; cp. Gal 4:21-31). The phrase the Israel of God does not appear elsewhere in the New Testament or in other literature; perhaps the false teachers promised this identification to Gentiles who would accept circumcision. If so, then Paul turned their argument on its head: The believing Gentiles in Galatia didn’t need circumcision, for they were already God’s Israel—his true people—through faith in Christ.
OET (OET-LV) And as_many_as the will_be_aligning by_ this _principle, peace be on them, and mercy, and on the Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl) of_ the _god.
OET (OET-RV) and as many people as follow that principle, may peace and mercy be on them and on God’s Israel.
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.
