It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.

So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God.

Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”

or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.

I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.

May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains.
