13 (A)Nor can they prove to you the charges of which they now accuse me. 14 But this I admit to you, that according to (B)the Way which they call a (C)sect I do serve (a)(D)the God of our fathers, (E)believing everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets; 15 having a hope in God, which (F)these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. 16 In view of this, (G)I also (b)do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men.
