¹ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also `it is' with you;

²⁵ Brethren, pray for us.

⁸ For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.

³ withal praying for us also, that God may open unto us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;

¹⁹ And on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

¹³ And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, `even the word' of God, ye accepted `it' not `as' the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.

¹ Finally then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk, --that ye abound more and more.

¹⁷ pray without ceasing;

⁹ wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.

¹⁸ Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

¹⁹ And I exhort `you' the more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

¹ For yourselves, brethren, know our entering in unto you, that it hath not been found vain:

⁵ how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and `in' much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake.

¹¹ ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.

³⁸ Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.

² And he said unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.

⁷ And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

²⁴ But the word of God grew and multiplied.

⁴⁸ And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

⁴⁹ And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.

²⁰ So mightily grew the word of the Lord and prevailed.

³⁰ Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

⁹ for a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

² I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
