²² One thing more: prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be restored to you.^(A)

³ At the same time, pray for us as well, that God will open to us a door for the word, that we may declare the mystery of Christ, for which I am in prison,^(A)

¹¹ as you also join in helping us by your prayers, so that many may give thanks on our^[a] behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.^(A)

¹⁸ Pray for us; we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.^{(A) 19} I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you very soon.

Request for Prayer

3 Finally, brothers and sisters, pray for us, so that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified everywhere, just as it is among you,^{(A) 2} and that we may be rescued from wicked and evil people, for not all have faith. ³ But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.^[a](B)

¹⁹ for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my salvation.^(A)

¹⁸ Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints.^{(A) 19} Pray also for me, so that when I speak a message may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,^{[a](B) 20} for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it boldly, as I must speak.^(C)

³⁰ I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in earnest prayer to God on my behalf,^(A)
