Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Ἰακώβῳ
˱to˲_Jacobus
Peter assumes that his listeners will know that by James, he means the brother of Jesus who was the leader of the church in Jerusalem. UST models one way to express this implicit information. However, since this is something that Peter assumes his listeners will know, you may find it preferable to explain this in a footnote rather than add information to the text.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς
˱to˲_the brothers
Luke is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. Alternate translation: [the other believers]
