# Ananias

Though this is not the same Ananias who died earlier in Acts [Acts 5:3](../05/03.md), you may translate it the same way that you did in [Acts 5:1](../05/01.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])

# devout man according to the law

Ananias was very serious about following God's law.

# law and well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there

This can be stated in active form in a new sentence. Alternate translation: "law. All the Jews who lived there spoke well of him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
