OET (OET-RV) and will be found in him. I don’t gain my own righteousness by means of the law, but the righteousness that comes through faith in Messiah—God’s righteousness which depends on faith.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καὶ εὑρεθῶ ἐν αὐτῷ
and /may_be/_found in him
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate the passive verbal phrase be found with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: “and God might find me belonging to him”

μὴ ἔχων ἐμὴν δικαιοσύνην, τὴν ἐκ νόμου
not having my_‹own› righteousness ¬which of /the/_law
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you can express the idea behind the abstract noun righteousness in some other way. Alternate translation: “not being able to please God by keeping the law”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἀλλὰ τὴν διὰ πίστεως Χριστοῦ
but the_‹righteousness› through faith ˱in˲_Christ
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you can express the idea behind faith by using a verbal form. Alternate translation: “but that which comes by believing in Christ”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀλλὰ τὴν διὰ πίστεως Χριστοῦ
but the_‹righteousness› through faith ˱in˲_Christ
Here, the word that refers to “righteousness.” Paul assumes his readers will know this from the context. If this would be unclear in your language, consider stating this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but the righteousness which is through faith in Christ” or “but the righteousness which comes by faith in Christ”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἐπὶ τῇ πίστει
on ¬the faith
In the phrase by faith, Paul is leaving out some words that would be needed to complete the sentence in many languages. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “which comes by faith” or “which is received through faith”
3:9 Paul here summarizes the contrast between his understanding of salvation and that of his opponents (3:2).
• Believers become one with Christ by trusting him for salvation and sharing his life (cp. John 15:1-5).
• We become righteous, not by observing the law of Moses, but through faith in Christ. This is God’s way of making us right with himself: Salvation cannot be earned, but only received as a free gift (see Rom 1:17; 3:21-26; 4:5-8; Gal 2:16; Eph 2:8-9).

OET (OET-RV) and will be found in him. I don’t gain my own righteousness by means of the law, but the righteousness that comes through faith in Messiah—God’s righteousness which depends on faith.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
