Colossians 4:3

¹⁹Pray for me, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News, ²⁰for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

²⁷When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

¹Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you, ²and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith.

¹³so that it became evident to the whole palace^[+] guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ, ¹⁴and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

¹²Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,

²⁶the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,

⁹in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.

⁹for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

¹So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.

⁷It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
