What does this mean?

and pray on my behalf

that utterance may be given me

in the opening of my mouth,

to make known with boldness

the mystery of the gospel,

for which I am an ambassador in chains;

that in proclaiming it

I may speak boldly,

as I ought to speak.

NOTES -

We should not be ashamed to ask people to pray for us.

Our physical comfort is less important than sharing the Gospel with boldness.

The mystery of the Gospel made known is Jesus Christ.
