1:23-24 Paul’s conversion was a source of rejoicing in the Jerusalem church. This change (cp. 1:13-14) and his message were both the work of God (cp. Acts 9:31). Paul was not out of sync with the church in Jerusalem.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
δὲ
but
Here, the word But is introducing a contrast between what the Judean believers did know about Paul (they were hearing that he was now proclaiming the faith) and what they did not know about Paul (how he looked, 1:22). Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast. Alternate translation: “Rather,”
μόνον & ἀκούοντες ἦσαν
only & hearing ˱they˲_were
Alternate translation: “all that the believers in the region of Judea knew about me was that people were saying” or “all that the people belonging to the churches in the region of Judea knew about me was that people were saying”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ
the_‹one›
Here, the phrase The one refers to Paul. If it would help your readers, you could express that explicitly.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν πίστιν
the faith
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in some other way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the message about Jesus”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὴν πίστιν
the faith
Here, the faith refers to the good news about Jesus, which includes the need to have faith in Jesus to be saved. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the good news about Jesus”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐπόρθει
˱he˲_/was/_persecuting
Here, the word destroying refers to trying to stop the spread of the Christian message. If it would help your readers, you could express that explicitly.
