Your ideas may be rendered “what you think.”

The word rendered party appears in 24.5 and is the normal word used to refer to a recognized group within Judaism. The Good News Translation has made Paul’s relationship to this party explicit by the words that you belong to. In some languages one cannot speak of “belonging to a party.” One may, however, say “to be one with the party,” “to be a member of this group,” or “to be counted together with those who form this party.”
