King James Version with Apocrypha
"Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee."
— Acts 26:5, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.”
“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. ”
“having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.”
“They know, because they have known me from time past, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion, I lived as a Pharisee.”
“Having known me from the beginning (if they will give testimony) that according to the most sure sect of our religion I lived, a Pharisee.”
“And they are able to say, if they would give witness, that I was living as a Pharisee, in that division of our religion which is most regular in the keeping of the law.”
I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
