Exegesis
A chain of perfect passive participles—gegenemenos {γεγεννημένος | gegenēménos} 'having been born', anatethrammenos {ἀνατεθραμμένος | anatethramménos} 'having been brought up', and pepaideumenos {πεπαιδευμένος | pepaideuménos} 'having been instructed'—presents Paul's life story as completed past actions with abiding results, typical of the perfect aspect.
Each participle is expanded by its own modifiers: gegenemenos en Tarsō tēs Kilikias {γεγεννημένος ἐν Ταρσῷ τῆς Κιλικίας | gegenēménos en Tarsṓ tês Kilikías} locates his birth in Tarsus of Cilicia; anatethrammenos de en tē polei tautē {ἀνατεθραμμένος δὲ ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ | anatethramménos de en tē̂ pólei taútē} contrasts his upbringing in this city with his birthplace, with de marking a mild adversative shift.
In context — Acts 22:3
I am a man, a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to the strictness of the ancestral law, being zealous for God , just as all of you are today .
