TSNTyndale Study Notes:

11:18 Peter’s logical, straightforward explanation convinced those who had objected—they recognized God’s hand at work in the conversion of the Gentiles and their receiving eternal life. However, issues relating to the inclusion of Gentiles would soon provoke a major crisis (15:1-35; Paul’s letter to the Galatians).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἡσύχασαν

˱they˲_kept_quiet

The pronoun they refers to the Jewish believers to whom Peter was speaking. Alternate translation: [the Jewish believers became quiet]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἡσύχασαν

˱they˲_kept_quiet

This is an idiom that means they no longer argued. Alternate translation: [they no longer argued with Peter]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ὁ Θεὸς τὴν μετάνοιαν εἰς ζωὴν ἔδωκεν

and also ˱to˲_the pagans ¬the God ¬the repentance to life gave

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of repentance and life, you could express the same idea in other ways. Here the term life refers to everlasting life. Alternate translation: [God has allowed the Gentiles as well to repent and live forever]
