Philippians 2:17

Philippians 2:17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith,. He is willing to die as a sacrifice for Christ, martyred because he has preached the gospel to the Gentiles, if it will be an encouragement to their faith. The imagery used was familiar to those who had so often seen victims sacrificed as offerings in the heathen temples. I joy, and rejoice with you all. He will even rejoice in death if it will help the cause of Christ.
