SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:26
hombres que han expuesto sus vidas por el Nombre de nuestro Seor Jess, el Cristo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 15:26
Verse 26. Men that have hazarded their lives] This was a high character of Paul and Barnabas: they had already suffered much in the cause of Christ, and exposed their lives to the most imminent danger, and were intent on the same work, notwithstanding the increasing dangers in the way.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. Men that have hazarded their lives , etc.] As at Antioch, in Pisidia, where a persecution was raised against them, and they were expelled out of the coasts of that place; and at Lystra, where Paul was stoned, and left for dead, ( Acts 13:50, 14:19) and this they did, not for any sinister and selfish ends, for any worldly gain, or vain glory, and popular applause, but for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ; for the sake of his Gospel, and the enlargement of his interest, and kingdom in the world; and therefore were worthy of esteem, and ought to be regarded and attended to, and greatly to be preferred to false teachers; who only sought themselves, their worldly honour, and ease, and would sacrifice nothing, nor hazard anything, for the sake of Christ.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-35 - Being warranted to declare themselves directed by the immediat influence of the Holy Ghost, the apostles and disciples were assure that it seemed good unto God the Holy Spirit, as well as to them, to lay upon the converts no other burden than the things before mentioned which were necessary, either on their own account, or from presen circumstances. It was a comfort to hear that carnal ordinances were n longer imposed on them, which perplexed the conscience, but could no purify or pacify it; and that those who troubled their minds wer silenced, so that the peace of the church was restored, and that whic threatened division was removed. All this was consolation for whic they blessed God. Many others were at Antioch. Where many labour in the word and doctrine, yet there may be opportunity for us: the zeal an usefulness of others should stir us up, not lay us asleep.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
15:26 {Have hazarded their lives} (paradedwkosi tas yucas autwn). Perfect active participle dative plural of paradidwmi, old word, to hand over to another, and with yucas, to hand over to another their lives. The sufferings of Paul and Barnabas in Pisidia and Lycaonia were plainly well-known just as the story of Judson in Burmah is today. On the use of "name" here see on 3:6.
