<p>15:26 <i>Men that have r<em>isked their lives</em></i>- The Greek can equally mean that they had handed over their lives.</p><p><em>For the name of our Lord Jesus Christ</em>- Bearing the name of Christ is in itself an imperative to witness it. Thus &ldquo;the name of our Lord Jesus Christ&rdquo; is used as a metonymy for &lsquo;the preaching of Christ&rsquo; (Acts 15:26; 3 Jn. 7; Mt. 24:9 cp. 14). We are baptized into that Name and thereby it is axiomatic that we become witnesses to it.</p>
