So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:

ἀπολογηθῆναι· apologēthēnai “to present a defense;”

And when he made his answer in these words, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, you are off your head; your great learning has made you unbalanced.

Because the work of the law is seen in their hearts, their sense of right and wrong giving witness to it, while their minds are at one time judging them and at another giving them approval;

ἀπολογουμένων, apologoumenōn “presenting a defense”

It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.
