3 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner+ of Christ Jesus in behalf of you, the people of the nations+—

19 Pray also for me, that the words may be given to me when I open my mouth, so that I may be able to speak boldly in making known the sacred secret of the good news,+ 20 for which I am acting as an ambassador+ in chains,+ and that I may speak about it with boldness, as I ought to speak.

7 It is only right for me to think this regarding all of you, since I have you in my heart, you who are sharers with me in the undeserved kindness both in my prison bonds+ and in the defending and legally establishing of the good news.+

18 Here is my greeting, Paul’s, in my own hand.+ Keep my prison bonds+ in mind. The undeserved kindness be with you.
