2:14-36 This is the first of about thirty speeches in Acts and one of the most important, standing as it does at the very inception of the church. It is a typical example of the preaching of the apostles, who proclaimed (1) that the Old Testament promises had been fulfilled in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is the promised Messiah; (2) that the apostles themselves were eyewitnesses of Jesus’ entire public ministry and were his chosen representatives; (3) that people are called to repent of their sins and have faith in God through Christ; and (4) that salvation and the presence of the Holy Spirit are promised to those who respond affirmatively to this message of Good News. This basic message is echoed in the sermons of chs 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, and 13. The same themes characterized Paul’s preaching (see 1 Cor 15:3-9). This message was repeatedly preached to both Jews and Gentiles throughout the Mediterranean world; all people are summoned to repent of their sins and turn to God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
οὖν
therefore
Peter uses the word Therefore to introduce the logical result of what he has just said. Alternate translation: [We can therefore conclude that]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
προφήτης & ὑπάρχων, καὶ εἰδὼς
/a/_prophet & being and /having/_known
Peter is still speaking about David. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [because David was a prophet and he knew]

of /the/_fruit ˱of˲_the loin ˱of˲_him /to/_sit_down on the throne ˱of˲_him
Peter is using the word loins to represent David himself by association with the way the reproductive organs are in the loins. He is using the word fruit in a broad sense to mean what someone or something produces, in this case a descendant. Alternate translation: [to set one of his descendants upon his throne]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ἐκ καρποῦ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ, καθίσαι ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ
of /the/_fruit ˱of˲_the loin ˱of˲_him /to/_sit_down on the throne ˱of˲_him
When Peter says that God promised to set one of David’s descendants upon his throne, he is using that one action to represent God’s promise to David that this descendant would succeed him as king. Alternate translation: [to make one of his descendants succeed him as king]
