Below, we will read that Saul, later named Paul, must suffer, though we are not given a specific reason for why.
Would his suffering be, because of his persecutions that included the murder of Stephen? Or, will his suffering be a result of simply establishing the Christian Faith? Or, are there other ideas?
Remember, we are Brothers and Sisters in Christ, so in this forum, we encourage one another; we build each other up.
On with the Scripture!
Acts 9:15-16 NLT - "But the Lord said, "Go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to the people of Israel. 16 And I will show him how much he must suffer for my name's sake."
