I do not cease to give thanks for you when I remember you in my prayers.

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him,

if indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,

I became a servant of this gospel according to the gift of God's grace that was given to me by the exercise of his power.

To me -- less than the least of all the saints -- this grace was given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ

But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Because they are callous, they have given themselves over to indecency for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

Do not give the devil an opportunity.

You must let no unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but only what is beneficial for the building up of the one in need, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Pray for me also, that I may be given the message when I begin to speak -- that I may confidently make known the mystery of the gospel,
