1599 Geneva Bible
5 Which [a]knew me heretofore, even from my [b]Elders (if they would testify) that after the [c]most straight sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee.
6 [d]And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers.
7 Whereunto our twelve tribes instantly serving God day and night, hope to come: for the which hope’s sake, O King Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
