Acts 24:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ And because I am sure, I try my best to have a clear conscience in whatever I do for God or for people.

^17 (A) After being away for several years, I returned here to bring gifts for the poor people of my nation and to offer sacrifices. ¹⁸ This is what I was doing when I was found going through a ceremony in the temple. I wasn't with a crowd, and there was no uproar.
