Ephesians 6:18-20 Pray for me (the apostle Paul) that I may speak boldly the Gospel
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the Gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Ephesians 6:18-20 Pray for me (the apostle Paul) for God to give me the right words . . . for Gentiles, too
18 Pray all the time. Ask God for anything in line with the Holy Spirit's wishes. Plead with Him, reminding Him of your needs, and keep praying earnestly for all Christians everywhere. 19 Pray for me, too, and ask God to give me the right words as I boldly tell others about the Lord and as I explain to them that His salvation is for the Gentiles too. 20 I am in chains now for preaching this Message from God. But pray that I will keep on speaking out boldly for Him even here in prison, as I should.

Ephesians 6:18-20 Pray that I'll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time
18 In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.
19 And don't forget to pray for me. Pray that I'll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to one and all, the Message that I, 20 jailbird preacher that I am, am responsible for getting out.

[Editor's Comment: We should take courage knowing that Paul, himself, requested the Ephesians to pray for him as he witnessed and shared the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ that included the Gentiles, too.
It is my prayer that you will continue to pray for Melvine and me that through her sickness and battle with ovarian cancer that we will be able to declare the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the whole world. We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for it it the power of God unto salvation to everyone who will believe.
Let us pray that souls will be saved in our worship services in our local churches, too.]
