UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἤμην & ἀγνοούμενος τῷ προσώπῳ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ταῖς ἐν Χριστῷ

˱I˲_was & /being/_not_known ¬the ˱by˲_face ˱to˲_the assemblies ¬the ˱of˲_Judea ¬which in Christ

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [none of the people in the churches of Judea that are in Christ had ever met me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἤμην & ἀγνοούμενος τῷ προσώπῳ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ταῖς ἐν Χριστῷ

˱I˲_was & /being/_not_known ¬the ˱by˲_face ˱to˲_the assemblies ¬the ˱of˲_Judea ¬which in Christ

Paul uses the main feature of his appearance, his face, to refer to seeing his entire person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or plain language.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Χριστῷ

in Christ

Paul uses the spatial metaphor in Christ to describe the union believers have with Christ. Here, this phrase is specifically describing and modifying the churches of Judea. If it would help your readers, you could use a fuller phrase to describe what the phrase “in Christ” means here. See the discussion of this phrase in Part 3: Important Translation Issues in the Introduction to Galatians section. Alternate translation: [in union with Christ]
