Greek Commentary for Acts 26:6
Sharp comparison between his youth and the present. [source]
The hope of the resurrection and of the promised Messiah (Acts 13:32). Page calls Acts 26:6-8 a parenthesis in the course of Paul‘s argument by which he shows that his life in Christ is a real development of the best in Pharisaism. He does resume his narrative in Acts 26:9, but Acts 26:6-8 are the core of his defence already presented in Galatians 3; Romans 9-11 where he proves that the children of faith are the real seed of Abraham. [source]
Lit., “on the ground of the hope.” [source]
The article clearly defines what promise, “the one, namely, made of God. ” [source]

Genitive with preposition εινεκεν heineken The hope of the Messiah is his point as in Acts 26:6. I am bound with this chain (την αλυσιν ταυτην περικειμαι tēn halusin tautēn perikeimai). This old verb means to lie around as in Luke 17:2; Hebrews 12:1. But it is also used as the passive of περιτιτημι peritithēmi to place around with the accusative of περιτιτημι peritithēmi retained. It is a transitive passive. Paul does not lie around the chain, but the chain lies around him, a curious reversal of the imagery (Robertson, Grammar, p. 815). [source]
