²⁵ Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers.

³ And making prayer for us, that God may give us an open door for the preaching of the word, the secret of Christ, for which I am now in chains;

³⁰ Now I make request to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you will be working together with me in your prayers to God for me;

¹¹ You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.

¹⁸ With prayers and deep desires, making requests at all times in the Spirit, and keeping watch, with strong purpose, in prayer for all the saints,

¹⁹ And for me, that words may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make clear without fear the secret of the good news,

²⁰ For which I am a representative in chains, and that I may say without fear the things which it is right for me to say.

¹⁹ For I am conscious that this will be for my salvation, through your prayer and the giving out of the stored wealth of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

¹ For the rest, my brothers, let there be prayer for us that the word of the Lord may go forward with increasing glory, even as it does with you;

² And that we may be made free from foolish and evil men; for not all have faith.

³ But the Lord is true, who will give you strength and keep you safe from evil.

²² And make a room ready for me; for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be given to you.

¹⁸ Make prayers for us, for we are certain that our hearts are free from the sense of sin, desiring the right way of life in all things.

¹⁹ I make this request more strongly, in the hope of coming back to you more quickly.
