Acts 24:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ I have the same hope in God that they ·have [accept]—the hope that all people, ·good and bad [righteous and unrighteous], will surely be ·raised from the dead [resurrected; ^Cthe righteous to salvation, the wicked for judgment; Is. 26:19; Dan. 12:2]. ¹⁶ This is why I always try to ·do what I believe is right [^Lhave a clear conscience] before God and people.

¹⁷ “After being away from Jerusalem for ·several [^Lmany] years, I went back to bring ·money [alms; gifts for the poor] to my ·people [nation; Rom. 15:26; 1 Cor. 16:1; 2 Cor. 8:4; 9:1, 13] and to ·offer sacrifices [present offerings].
