Peter Freed from Prison

⁵ Peter was therefore kept in prison, but ^[a]constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.

²⁶ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

^16 [a]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. ^(A)The effective, ^[b]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

^17 (A)pray without ceasing,

^18 (A)praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, ^(B)being watchful to this end with all perseverance and ^(C)supplication for all the saints— ¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given to me, ^(D)that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which ^(E)I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
