Ephesians 6:18-24

Common English Bible

¹⁸ Offer prayers and petitions in the Spirit all the time. Stay alert by hanging in there and praying for all believers. ¹⁹ As for me, pray that when I open my mouth, I’ll get a message that confidently makes this secret plan^[a] of the gospel known. ²⁰ I’m an ambassador in chains for the sake of the gospel. Pray so that the Lord will give me the confidence to say what I have to say.

Final greeting

²¹ Tychicus, my loved brother and faithful servant of the Lord, can inform you about my situation and what I’m doing. ²² I’ve sent him for this reason—so that you will know about us. He can reassure you.

²³ May there be peace with the brothers and sisters as well as love with the faith that comes from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ May grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ forever.
