波利卡普的殉难

Return to Chinese (Simplified) text

第 4 章:叛逃者昆图斯。

NOW ONE NAMED QUINTUS: a Phrygian, who was but lately come from Phrygia, when he saw the wild beasts, became afraid. This was the man who forced himself and some others to come forward voluntarily [for trial]. Him the proconsul, after many entreaties, persuaded to swear and to offer sacrifice. Wherefore, brethren, we do not commend those who give themselves up [to suffering], seeing the Gospel does not teach so to do.
