Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal
ἵνα
in_order_that
Here, so that marks becoming heirs of eternal life as the goal or purpose for why God gave us the Holy Spirit (verse 6). Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
δικαιωθέντες
/having_been/_justified
If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: “since God has declared us to be without sin”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῇ ἐκείνου χάριτι
˱by˲_the ˱of˲_that_‹one› grace
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “by the gracious gift of that one” or “by what that one freely did for us”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / pronouns
ἐκείνου
˱of˲_that_‹one›
Here, that one refers back to “our Savior Jesus Christ” in verse 6. If it would be helpful in your language, you could repeat that name here. Alternate translation: “of Jesus”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
κληρονόμοι γενηθῶμεν, κατ’ ἐλπίδα ζωῆς αἰωνίου
heirs ˱we˲_/may_be/_become according_to /the/_hope ˱of˲_life eternal
The people to whom God has made promises are spoken of as if they were to inherit the things promised, just as a person inherits property or possessions from a family member. Alternate translation: “we might expect to receive the eternal life that God has promised us”
3:7 The first half of this verse sums up 3:4-6. The second half supplies the purpose for what God did.
• made us right in his sight: See Rom 3:20-28; Gal 2:16-17.
• inherit eternal life: The Spirit (Titus 3:5) is often linked with our status as heirs (see Rom 8:15-17; 1 Cor 6:9-11; Gal 4:6-7; Eph 1:13-14).
