Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ἐμὴν ἀναστροφήν ποτε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἠκούσατε Γάρ τήν ἐμήν ἀναστροφήν ποτέ ἐν τῷ Ἰουδαϊσμῷ ὅτι καθʼ ὑπερβολήν ἐδίωκον τήν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ καί ἐπόρθουν αὐτήν)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of manner and life, you could express the same idea with a verbal phrase such as “how I formerly lived,” or you could express the meaning in some other way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [how I formerly lived] or [how I formerly conducted myself] or [how I formerly behaved]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Here, the phrase in Judaism refers to following the Jewish religious guidelines. If it would help your readers, you could express that explicitly. Alternate translation: [following the Jewish religion] or [following the Jewish religious guidelines]
