Acts 24:16 - Exposition

Herein … also for and hereby, A.V. and T.R.; to have a conscience … always for to hare always, etc., A.V.; and men for and toward men, A.V. (For the sentiment, comp. Acts 23:1 .) Herein ( ἐν τόυτῳ ); i.e. on this account, under these circumstances supplying the ground and cause of my action (comp. John 16:30 ). So, too, Matthew 6:7 , ἐν τῇ πολυλογίᾳ αὐτῶν means "On account of their much speaking." I exercise myself ; ἀσκῶ , here only in the New Testament, but frequent in medical writers for "to practice" the medical art.
