ὧν ὁ Θεὸς ἡ κοιλία
whose ˱of˲_whose ¬the God_‹is› their belly
Here Paul uses belly to represent all physical desires for pleasure. By Paul calling their belly their god, he means that these people love and serve their physical desire for pleasure rather than loving and serving God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture, or you could use plain language. Alternate translation: “who serve their desire for food and other pleasures rather than serve God” or “who obey their physical appetites instead of obeying God” or “who love pleasure more than they love God”

3:19 Their god is their appetite may refer to their greed, their sensuality, or their self-interest (cp. Rom 16:18).
• they brag about shameful things: This is best understood as a reference to immorality rather than to pride in being circumcised.
• Eternal destruction is the ultimate judgment of God for those who reject Christ and live self-centered, sinful lives (see 2 Thes 1:8-9; cp. Phil 1:28; Matt 7:13; Rom 9:22; 1 Cor 1:18; 2 Thes 2:10; 1 Tim 6:9; 2 Pet 2:3, 13; Jude 1:10; Rev 11:18).
• They are unable to see beyond this life (cp. John 12:25; 1 Jn 2:15-17).

OET (OET-RV) and their end is destruction. Their god is their belly, and they take pride in their shame—they’re only thinking about earthly things.
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.
