CITIZENSHIP - C>@ - The use of this term in Scripture has exclusive reference to the usages of the Roman empire. The privilege of Roman citizenship was originally acquired in various ways, as by purchase, kjv@Acts:22:28) by military services, by favor or by manumission. The right once obtained descended to a man’s children. kjv@Acts:22:28) Among the privileges attached to citizenship we may note that a man could not be bound or imprisoned without a formal trial, kjv@Acts:22:29) still less be scourged. kjv@Acts:16:37) Cic. in Verr. 5:63,66.

Citizenship @ the rights and privileges of a citizen in distinction from a foreigner kjv@Luke:15:15 kjv@Luke:19:14; kjv@Acts:21:39). Under the Mosaic law non
- Israelites, with the exception of the Moabites and the Ammonites and others mentioned in kjv@Deuteronomy:23:1-3, were admitted to the general privileges of citizenship among the Jews kjv@Exodus:12:19; kjv@Leviticus:24:22; kjv@Numbers:15:15 kjv@Numbers:35:15; kjv@Deuteronomy:10:18 kjv@Deuteronomy:14:29 kjv@Deuteronomy:16:10 ,14). The right of citizenship under the Roman government was granted by the emperor to individuals, and sometimes to provinces, as a favour or as a recompense for services rendered to the state, or for a sum of money kjv@Acts:22:28). This "freedom" secured privileges equal to those enjoyed by natives of Rome. Among the most notable of these was the provision that a man could not be bound or imprisoned without a formal trial kjv@Acts:22:25-26), or scourged (16:37). All Roman citizens had the right of appeal to Caesar (25:11).
