Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.
Devote yourselves to prayer
Luke 18:1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. (see Luke 18:1-8)
And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message
Acts 14:27 On arriving there (Antioch), they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ
Romans 16:25-27 Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith--to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.
for which I am in chains
Acts 21:33 The commander came up and arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains. Then he asked who he was and what he had done.
