OET (OET-RV) Who will bring charges against those chosen by God? God is the one declaring us guiltless.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίς ἐγκαλέσει κατὰ ἐκλεκτῶν Θεοῦ?
who ˓will_be˒_indicting against ˓the˒_chosen_‹ones› ˱of˲_God
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: [Surely no one can bring an accusation against God’s elect!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τίς ἐγκαλέσει
who ˓will_be˒_indicting
Here, accusation implies an accusation that is based on facts. If it might be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [a true accusation]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐκλεκτῶν Θεοῦ
˓the˒_chosen_‹ones› ˱of˲_God
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of elect, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [those who have been chosen by God] or [those whom God has elected]
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
Θεὸς ὁ δικαιῶν
God_‹is› the_‹one› justifying
This sentences states the reason why the idea in the previous sentence is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: [No on can accuse them, because God is the one who justifies]

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.
