About - Marturia

mar-too-REE-ah

Greek: testimony, witness.

The word marturia (μαρτυρία) appears 37 times in the New Testament. It is the root of the English word "martyr" — one who bears witness at the cost of their life. To carry marturia is to hold the testimony of Jesus and speak it.

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony (marturia); and they loved not their lives unto the death."Revelation 12:11
