| 19 Pray also for me, so that when I speak, a message may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, | 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, |
| 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it boldly, as I must speak. | 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. |
