Prayer Requested

^18 (A)Pray for us; for we are confident that we have ^(B)a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.

²⁵ Brethren, pray for us.

Pray for Us

3 Finally, brethren, ^(A)pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,

⁵ Now ^(A)the purpose of the commandment is love ^(B)from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from ^[a]sincere faith,

^3 (A)meanwhile praying also for us, that God would ^(B)open to us a door for the word, to speak ^(C)the ^[a]mystery of Christ, ^(D)for which I am also in chains,

³⁰ Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and ^(A)through the love of the Spirit, ^(B)that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me,

¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given to me, ^(A)that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which ^(B)I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

^21 (A)There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism ^(B)(not the removal of the filth of the flesh, ^(C)but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

^16 (A)having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

^12 (A)having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, ^(B)they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.
