Exegesis
Finally, the participial infinitive mellōn sēmeron apologeisthai {μέλλων σήμερον ἀπολογεῖσθαι | mél-lōn sḗ-me-ron a-po-lo-geî-sthai} combines imminence and purpose, indicating Paul’s impending defense today. Emphasis on the accusatory frame is preserved in formal style with a literal participle–infinitive rendering, while dynamic uses “stand before you today and defend myself” to convey immediacy and audience engagement.
In context — Acts 26:2
Concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa, I have considered myself fortunate before you, being about to defend myself today.
