Exegesis
The content of that potential testimony is introduced by hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} ‘that,’ which governs the main statement: kata ten akribestaten hairesin {κατὰ τὴν ἀκριβεστάτην αἵρεσιν | ka-tá tḕn a-kri-be-stá-tēn haí-re-sin} ‘according to the strictest sect.’ Here kata with the accusative expresses conformity, while the superlative akribestaten emphasizes the highest degree of strictness or exactness.
In context — Acts 26:5
They have known me from the beginning , if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived as a Pharisee .
