Being Romans. Paul was born a Roman citizen (Ac 22:25). His father, or some remoter ancestor, had been admitted to Roman citizenship, a great privilege and honor.

Let them come themselves and fetch us out. They had been publicly scourged and tortured as evil doers, in violation of law. Paul insisted that they should be as publicly vindicated, not for their own honor, but for the sake of the church at Philippi.
