I beg you, then, Brothers, by Jesus Christ, our Lord, and by the love inspired by the Spirit, to join me in earnest prayer to God on my behalf. Pray that I may be rescued from those in Judea who reject the Faith, and that the help which I am taking to Jerusalem may prove acceptable to Christ's People; So that, God willing, I may be able to come to you with a joyful heart, and enjoy some rest among you.


Pray in spirit at all times. Be intent upon this, with unwearying perseverance and supplication for all Christ's People- - And on my behalf also, that, when I begin to speak, words may be given me, so that I may fearlessly make known the inmost truth of the Good News, On behalf of which I am an Ambassador--in chains! Pray that, in telling it, I may speak fearlessly as I ought.

Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that, through your prayers and through a rich supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 'all this will make for my Salvation.'

Devote yourselves to prayer. Give your whole mind to it, and also offer thanksgiving; And at the same time pray for us, that God may give us an opening for our Message, so that we may speak of the truths hidden in the Christ--the truths for which I am in chains! Then I shall make them known, as I ought to do.


In conclusion, Brothers, pray for us--pray that the Lord's Message may spread rapidly, and be received everywhere with honour, as it was among you; And that we may be preserved from wrong-headed and wicked men- -for it is not every one who believes in Christ.

Please also get a lodging ready for me, for I hope that I shall be given back to you all in answer to your prayers. Verse ConceptsIntercessory PrayerPray For UsStaying TemporarilyPrivate RoomsGuest Rooms
