²⁹ And now, Lord, ^(A)look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all ^(B)boldness,

^13 (A)Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

³ So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for ^(A)the Lord, who bore witness to ^(B)the word of his grace, ^(C)granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

³¹ And when they had prayed, ^(A)the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and ^(B)they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and ^(C)continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

¹⁷ But ^(A)the Lord stood by me and ^(B)strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and ^(C)all the Gentiles might hear it. So ^(D)I was rescued ^(E)from the lion's mouth.

¹⁴ And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold ^(A)to speak the word^[a] without fear.

^31 (A)proclaiming ^(B)the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ ^(C)with all boldness and ^(D)without hindrance.

⁷ for God gave us ^(A)a spirit not of fear but ^(B)of power and love and self-control.

⁸ Therefore ^(C)do not be ashamed of ^(D)the testimony about our Lord, nor of ^(E)me his prisoner, but ^(F)share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,

¹⁸ praying ^(A)at all times ^(B)in the Spirit, ^(C)with all prayer and supplication. To that end, ^(D)keep alert with all perseverance, making ^(E)supplication for all the saints, ¹⁹ and ^(F)also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth ^(G)boldly to proclaim ^(H)the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I ^(I)am an ambassador ^(J)in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
