Exegesis
This is further specified by the genitive tes hemeteras threskeias {τῆς ἡμετέρας θρησκείας | tês hē-me-té-ras thrē-skeí-as} ‘of our religion,’ in which hemeteras marks shared identity with the broader Jewish community, even as Paul singles out one sect within it.
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 .
