Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τί οὖν

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί οὖν?

what therefore

Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form here to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “This is what we should conclude:”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

what & this

The thing and this here refer to righteousness, as indicated in 9:30–31. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “The righteousness … this righteousness”
