Acts 26:7 ASV

⁵  having knowledge of me from the first, if they be willing to testify, that after the straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

⁶  And now I stand 'here' to be judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers;

⁷  unto which 'promise' our twelve tribes, earnestly serving 'God' night and day, hope to attain. And concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O king!

⁸  Why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?

⁹  I verily thought with myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
