2
Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving;
3
and pray for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison,
4
that I may make it clear, as I ought to speak.
5
Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.
6
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer every one.
