³ At the same time, pray also for us, that God may ^(A)open to us a door for the word, ^(B)to declare the mystery of Christ, ^(C)on account of which I am in prison—

¹⁹ and ^(A)also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth ^(B)boldly to proclaim ^(C)the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I ^(D)am an ambassador ^(E)in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

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

^11 (A)You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf ^(B)for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.

Support and Opposition

⁵ Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for ^(A)these brothers, ^(B)strangers as they are, ⁶ who testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner ^(C)worthy of God. ⁷ For they have gone out for the sake of ^(D)the name, ^(E)accepting nothing from the Gentiles. ⁸ Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
