God’s Marvelous Plan for the Gentiles

3 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner^(A) of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ

4 As a prisoner^(A) for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy^(B) of the calling^(C) you have received.

¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit^(A) on all occasions^(B) with all kinds of prayers and requests.^(C) With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying^(D) for all the Lord’s people. ¹⁹ Pray also for me,^(E) that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly^(F) make known the mystery^(G) of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador^(H) in chains.^(I) Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
