“保罗说: 你们为什么这样痛哭,使我心碎呢?我为主耶稣的名,不但被人捆绑,就是死在耶路撒冷,也是愿意的”(徒21:13)。[1]

Fruit of Consecration
Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.Acts 21:13.{WGD 258.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第256章
当保罗最后在尼禄面前受审判的时候,皇帝深受他言语的感动,甚至迟迟不予判决,既不开释,又不判处这个被告的上帝仆人。可是不久皇帝对于保罗的毒恨重新发作了。……不久之后,尼禄就宣布保罗死刑,以致他必须为道殉身。只因他是一个罗马公民,按律法不能施以酷刑,所以判处斩首。保罗被秘密地解往刑场,当局只准少数人同去,因为迫害他的人慑于他广泛的影响,唯恐有人看见他从容就义而皈依基督教。……[2]
黎明的灵修-第256章
During Paul’s final trial before Nero, the emperor had been so strongly impressed with the force of the apostle’s words, that he deferred the decision of the case, neither acquitting nor condemning the accused servant of God. But the emperor’s malice against Paul soon returned.... Not long afterward Nero pronounced the decision that condemned Paul to a martyr’s death. Inasmuch as a Roman citizen could not be subjected to torture, he was sentenced to be beheaded. Paul was taken in a private manner to the place of execution. Few spectators were allowed to be present; for his persecutors, alarmed at the extent of his influence, feared that converts might be won to Christianity by the scenes of his death....{WGD 258.2}[2]

当时接受保罗所宣讲之救主的还不止一人,而且不久之后,他们也无畏地用鲜血印证了自己所信的道。……保罗身上常带着上天的气氛。凡与他接近的人都感受到他那与基督联合,与天使交往的影响。他自己的生活为他所传的真理作见证,这就使他所传讲的道具有感服人心的能力。真理的能力就在于此。……[3]
黎明的灵修-第256章
More than one accepted the Saviour whom Paul preached, and ere long fearlessly sealed their faith with their blood.... Paul carried with him the atmosphere of heaven. All who associated with him felt the influence of his union with Christ. The fact that his own life exemplified the truth he proclaimed, gave convincing power to his preaching. Here lies the power of truth....{WGD 258.3}[3]
黎明的灵修-第256章
这时,保罗仰望着那伟大的将来,没有一点犹疑,也没有一点畏惧,只有喜乐的盼望和热切的期待。当他站在殉道的地点时,他没有看刽子手的刀,也没有看那即将吸收他鲜血的地;他却抬头从夏天蔚蓝的天空看到永生上帝的宝座。……他有确实的把握,知道自己的生命在救赎主眼中看为宝贵。(AA 512)[4]
黎明的灵修-第256章
The apostle was looking into the great beyond, not with uncertainty or dread, but with joyous hope and longing expectation. As he stands at the place of martyrdom, he sees not the sword of the executioner or the earth so soon to receive his blood; he looks up through the calm blue heaven of that summer day to the throne of the Eternal.... Paul has the witness in himself that his soul is precious in the sight of his Redeemer.—The Acts of the Apostles, 509-512.{WGD 258.4}[4]
