| 6:18 | through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints -- |
| 6:19 | and in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of the good news, |
| 6:20 | for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may speak freely -- as it behoveth me to speak. |
