UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ

in ¬the Judaism

See how you translated the phrase in Judaism in 1:13 where it is used with a similar meaning. Alternate translation: “in the Jewish religion”

τῷ γένει

¬the the descent

Alternate translation: “nation”

Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

τῷ γένει μου

¬the the descent ˱of˲_me

The word race is a singular noun that refers to a group of people. If your language does not use singular nouns in that way, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “my ethnic group, the Jews” or “my people, the Jews” or “the Jewish people”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῶν πατρικῶν μου

˱of˲_the paternal ˱of˲_me

Here, the word fathers means “ancestors.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “of my ancestors”
