Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
καὶ γινώσκεις τὸ θέλημα, καὶ δοκιμάζεις τὰ διαφέροντα, κατηχούμενος ἐκ τοῦ νόμου,
and /are/_knowing his will and /are/_approving the_‹things› carrying_value /being/_instructed out_of the law
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “and because you are instructed from the law, you know his will and approve of what is excellent”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὸ θέλημα
his will
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of will, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what God wills”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
κατηχούμενος ἐκ τοῦ νόμου
/being/_instructed out_of the law
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: “others having instructed you from the law”
2:17-20 The boasting of the Jews reflects Old Testament and Jewish teaching about the privileges and responsibilities God gave to Israel. God gave his law to Israel, entered into a special relationship with them, and commissioned them to be a light to the Gentiles (see Isa 42:6-7). Jews were not wrong to enjoy these blessings; their error was in failing to live up to their privileged position.
