     The following is the results of your search for Citizenship.


Citizenship: The rights and privileges of a citizen in distinction from a foreigner (Luke 15:15; 19:14; Acts 21:39) Under the Mosaic law non-Israelites, with the exception of the Moabites and the Ammonites and others mentioned in (Deuteronomy 23:1-3) were admitted to the general privileges of citizenship among the Jews (Exodus 12:19; Leviticus 24:22; Numbers 15:15; 35:15; Deuteronomy 10:18; 14:29; 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 (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 (Acts 22:25,26) or scourged (Acts 16:37) All Roman citizens had the right of appeal to Caesar (Acts 25:11)
