  **Show the text**

  18 with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

  19 on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,

  20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

  21 But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things.

  22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state and that he may comfort your hearts.

  23 Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.
