Pray for us too. Pray that God will give us an opportunity to preach our message. Then we can preach the mystery of Christ. Because I preached it, I am being held by chains.

And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.

At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—

Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains.

At the same time, pray also for us that God may open a door to us for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains,

praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned;

meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains,

withal praying for us also, that God may open unto us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;

At the same time, pray also for us that God may open a door to us for the message, to speak the mystery of the Messiah, for which I am in prison,

Pray also for me. Pray that whenever I speak, the right words will be given to me. Then I can be bold as I tell the mystery of the good news.Because of the good news, I am being held by chains as the Lord’s messenger. So pray that I will be bold as I preach the good news. That’s what I should do.

When they arrived at Antioch, they gathered the church together. They reported all that God had done through them. They told how he had opened a way for the Gentiles to believe.

One thing has become clear. I am being held by chains because I am a witness for Christ. All the palace guards and everyone else know it.And because I am a prisoner, most of the believers have become bolder in the Lord. They now dare even more to preach the good news without fear.

I went to Troas to preach the good news about Christ. There I found that the Lord had opened a door of opportunity for me.

It is right for me to feel this way about all of you. I love you with all my heart. I may be held by chains, or I may be standing up for the truth of the good news. Either way, all of you share in God’s grace together with me.

“ Here is what I command you to write to the church in Philadelphia. Here are the words of Jesus, who is holy and true. He holds the key of David. No one can shut what he opens. And no one can open what he shuts. He says,‘ I know what you are doing. Look! I have put an open door in front of you. No one can shut it. I know that you don’t have much strength. But you have obeyed my word. You have not said no to me.

My goal is that their hearts may be encouraged and strengthened. I want them to be joined together in love. Then their understanding will be rich and complete. They will know the mystery of God. That mystery is Christ.All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in him.

Now I want to talk about some other matters. Brothers and sisters, pray for us. Pray that the Lord’s message will spread quickly. Pray that others will honor it just as you did.And pray that we will be saved from sinful and evil people. Not everyone is a believer.

So here is how you should think of us. We serve Christ. We are trusted with the mysteries God has shown us.

That word contains the mystery that has been hidden for many ages. But now it has been made known to the Lord’s people.

I am suffering for it. I have even been put in chains like someone who has committed a crime. But God’s word is not held back by chains.

I am a prisoner because of the Lord. So I am asking you to live a life worthy of what God chose you for.

Pray for us. We feel sure we have done what is right. We desire to live as we should in every way.I beg you to pray that I may return to you soon.

I, Paul, am a prisoner because of Christ Jesus. I am in prison because of my work among you who are Gentiles.

He replied,“ Because you have been given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. It has not been given to outsiders.

I know that you are praying for me. I also know that God will give me the Spirit of Jesus Christ to help me. So no matter what happens, I’m sure I will still be set free.

Brothers and sisters, pray for us.

There is one more thing. Have a guest room ready for me. I hope I can return to all of you in answer to your prayers.

A door has opened wide for me to do some good work here. There are many people who oppose me.

May the Lord show mercy to all who live in the house of Onesiphorus. He often encouraged me. He was not ashamed that I was being held by chains.

Brothers and sisters, I ask you to join me in my struggle. Join me by praying to God for me. I ask this through the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray for me with the love the Holy Spirit provides.Pray that I will be kept safe from those in Judea who do not believe. I am taking the offering to Jerusalem. Pray that it will be welcomed by the Lord’s people there.Then I will come to you with joy just as God has planned. We will be renewed by being together.
