Strong's King James
(37) But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us in public uncondemned, us men who are Romans and threw us into prison! And now they are expelling us secretly? No way! Rather let them come themselves to bring us out."
The F.O.G
[37] But Paul responded firmly, "They beat us publicly without a trial and imprisoned us – though we are Roman citizens. Now they want to send us away secretly? No! Let them come themselves and escort us out." His words asserted both justice and dignity.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and Paul said to them, ‘Having beaten us publicly uncondemned—men, Romans being—they did cast us to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.’
Young's Literal Translation
