And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Profited, х proekopton (G4298)] - 'I, was becoming a proficient;' 'I made progress.'
Above - beyond.
My equals - Greek, 'of mine own age.'
Traditions of my fathers - namely, those of the Pharisees, Paul being 'a Pharisee, and son of a Pharisee' (Acts 23:6; Acts 26:5). "MY fathers" shows that it does not mean the traditions of the nation.
