Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ῥυσθῶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀπειθούντων

˱I˲_/may_be/_rescued from the_‹ones› disbelieving

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God might deliver me from the disobedient ones”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν ἀπειθούντων

the_‹ones› disbelieving

Here, the disobedient ones refers to the Jews in Judea who disobeyed God by refusing to believe in Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the unbelieving Jews” or “those Jews who do not trust in Jesus”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

διακονία μου

service ˱of˲_me

Here, my service refers to the money that Paul was going to bring to the poor believers in Jerusalem from the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. This is a polite way of referring to bringing money. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different polite way of referring to this or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “the money I bring”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ

in Jerusalem

Here, for Jerusalem means “for the poor of the saints in Jerusalem,” as mentioned in 15:26. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “for the poor saints in Jerusalem”
