The Greek word for "witness" is "martys," which not only refers to someone who testifies to what they have seen or heard but also carries the connotation of someone who may suffer or even die for their testimony. This reflects the gravity and seriousness of the calling. In the historical context of the early church, being a witness for Christ often meant facing persecution, and this phrase underscores the courage and commitment required to fulfill such a role.
