that I may make it clear, as I must speak.

See the chapter Copy

And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and enable your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

But Peter and the apostles said in reply, “We must obey God rather than men.

Therefore, since we have such hope, we act very boldly

for which I am an ambassador in chains, so that I may have the courage to speak as I must. A Final Message.

Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you know how you should respond to each one. Tychicus and Onesimus.
