Acts 26:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ They have known me for a long time. If they want to, they can tell you that I was a good Pharisee. And the Pharisees obey the laws of my tradition more carefully than any other group. ⁶ Now I am on trial because I hope for the promise that God made to our ancestors. ⁷ This is the promise that the twelve tribes of our people hope to receive as they serve God day and night. My king, they have accused me because I hope for this same promise!
