Acts 22:22-29
As they stretched him out to flog him, Paul said to the centurion standing there, "Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn't even been found guilty?"
Those who were about to question him withdrew immediately. The commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put Paul, a Roman citizen, in chains.
Paul was born a citizen, but the commander had pay a big price for his citizenship.
Why?
Paul knew that he said the truth and there is not right to hand him into prison without judgment.
It is the right of Roman citizen since Paul was born. So Paul did not worry about the threaten from crowd and commander.
To be a Christian should not proud in the position in the world, but should live noble and honor the Lord. We should humble ourselves but with gentle and courageous life.
How?
I am a son of God, so I should honor name of the Lord with honor and elegant.
