Acts 23:1New Messianic Version BibleAnd Sha’ul [desired], earnestly beholding the council, said, Men [and] brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God-The Father until this day. See the chapter |
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly with incorruption, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God-The Father, we have had our Conversation (behavior; way of life; community) in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward (in custody, with a guard; prison).
But when Sha’ul [desired] perceived that the one part were Tz’dukim (Sadducees) [followers of the right], and the other P’rushim (Pharisee [separatist]s) [separatists], he cried out in the council, Men [and] brethren, I am a Pharisee [separatist], the son of a Pharisee [separatist]: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
