Strong's King James
(11) If indeed therefore, I'm a wrongdoer whose committed anything worthy of death, I don't refuse to die! But if nothing of this is true which these accuse me of, nobody can hand me over to them. I call upon Caesar!"
The F.O.G
[11] If I am guilty of anything deserving death, I do not refuse to die. But if these charges are false, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!"
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for if indeed I am unrighteous, and anything worthy of death have done, I deprecate not to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favour of me to them; to Caesar I appeal!’
