A.T. Robertson Commentary Acts 26:6

"And now I stand [here] to be judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers;" — Acts 26:6 (ASV)

And now (κα νυν). Sharp comparison between his youth and the present.

To be judged for the hope (επ' ελπιδι--κρινομενος). The hope of the resurrection and of the promised Messiah (13:32). Page calls verses 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 verse 9, but verses 6-8 are the core of his defence already presented in Ga 3; Romans 9-11 where he proves that the children of faith are the real seed of Abraham.
