we have received no letters from Judea about you

The Greek that is translated as “we have received no letters from Judea about you” or similar in English is translated in the German New Testament translation by Berger / Nord (publ. 1999) idiomatically with für und bist du ein unbeschriebenes Blatt. Wir haben keinen Brief aus Judäa erhalten or “You are a blank slate (lit.: “empty sheet of paper”) for us. We have not received any letter from Judea.”
