It is believed that paul was a martyr. which answer best describes what this means? he accepted persecution rather than deny his beliefs. he sacrificed his life to spread christianity. he died rather than deny his beliefs. he devoted himself to christianity.

Explanation:  The term martyr is characteristic especially for early Christianity, and implies that the followers of Christ's original teachings were more willing to lose their life than deny their Christian faith. Thus, the apostle Paul, as well as many other early Christians, was a martyr, since this dying for the Creed's faith meant a long and painful death on the cross, or cutting off their heads, throwing to lions into the arena, which was all a form of martyrdom death.
