Men, brothers, I in_all conscience have_lived_as_citizen good to_ the _god until this the day.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἀδελφοί
brothers
This is an idiomatic form of address. Use a way that is natural in your language to refer to a particular group of people. Alternate translation: [brothers of mine]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀτενίσας Δέ τῷ Συνεδρίῳ ὁ Παῦλος εἶπεν Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ἐγώ πάσῃ συνειδήσει ἀγαθῇ πεπολίτευμαι τῷ Θεῷ ἄχρι ταύτης τῆς ἡμέρας)
Paul is using the word brothers to refer respectfully to his fellow Israelites. Alternate translation: [My fellow Israelites]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πάσῃ συνειδήσει ἀγαθῇ
˱in˲_all conscience good
Paul says all here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [in careful obedience to the law]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
