To that end, aokeep alert with all perseverance, making apsupplication for all the saints, 19and aqalso for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth arboldly to proclaim asthe mystery of the gospel, 20for which I atam an ambassador auin chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.Final Greetings
