Acts 16:35-40
Paul said to the officers: They beat s publicly without a trial, even though we are Roman citizen, and threw us into prison. And now do they want to get rid of us quietly? Not! Let them come themselves and escort us out?
Offered release next day, Paul will not accept until he has an official apology for the ilegal bearing of a Roman citizen. When he does move on, Luke remains behind.
Why?
Paul wanted the just officially, for they were ashamed publicly without trial. They did nothing wrong.
When we do the right thing we do not fear the authority or any officers, God has the most high authority.
To be a Christian we have to live out the justice and keep the justice in our society. It is not for our own profit but for the justice of this world.
How?
pursue the justice in this world, and do the right things always. Keep away from bribe.
