Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
οὖν
therefore
Luke uses the word But here to indicate a contrast between what the unfaithful Jews did and what Paul and Barnabas did in response. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Nevertheless”
Note 2 topic: writing-politeness
ἐπὶ τῷ Κυρίῳ

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τῷ λόγῳ

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
