Exegesis
The sentence begins with egō men oun {Ἐγὼ μὲν οὖν | egṓ mèn oûn} ‘I indeed therefore’, a marked word order that fronts the explicit subject egō to heighten personal emphasis and uses men to anticipate contrast.
In context — Acts 26:9
I indeed therefore thought to myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene .
