Acts 26:5-7
New International Version
5 They have known me for a long time(A) and can testify, if they are willing, that I conformed to the strictest sect(B) of our religion, living as a Pharisee.(C) 6 And now it is because of my hope(D) in what God has promised our ancestors(E) that I am on trial today. 7 This is the promise our twelve tribes(F) are hoping to see fulfilled as they earnestly serve God day and night.(G) King Agrippa, it is because of this hope that these Jews are accusing me.(H)
