“As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
As it is written: 'For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.' — Paul cites Psalm 44:22, applying it to the Christian reality: believers are ὡς πρόβατα σφαγῆς (hōs probata sphagēs, "like sheep for the slaughter"). Yet quotation of vulnerability does not diminish security; it acknowledges the costliness of discipleship while asserting its ultimate triumph.
