I think myself happy (hghmai emauton makarion). See on Matthew 5:3 for makariov. Blass notes that Paul, like Tertullus, begins with captatio benevolentiae, but absque adulatione. He says only what he can truthfully speak. For hghmai see Philippians 3:7; 1 Timothy 6:1 (perfect middle indicative of hgeomai), I have considered.
That I am to make my defence (mellwn apologeisqai). Literally, "being about to make my defence."
Whereof I am accused (wn egkaloumai). Genitive with egkaloumai as in Acts 19:40 or by attraction from accusative of relative (a) to case of antecedent (pantwn).
