Colossians 4:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ Also pray for us that God will ·give us an opportunity [^Lopen a door for us] to tell people his ·message [word]. Pray that we can preach the ·secret that God has made known about Christ [^Lmystery of Christ; 1:26]. This is why I am in ·prison [chains; ^CPaul is probably writing from house arrest in Rome, about ad 60; see Acts 28:30–31]. ⁴ Pray that I can speak in a way that will make it clear, as I should.

⁵ Be wise in the way you ·act with [behave towards] people who are not believers, making the most of every opportunity.
