Even though that person won’t get up and give you the bread because you’re his friend, if you’re bold enough to keep on asking, I guarantee he’ll get up and give you everything you need.
Epaphras, who’s from your community and who’s a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He’s always praying hard for you, that you’ll stand firm in the will of God and that you’ll be confident and mature.
And suppose the one you ask says, ‘Don’t bother me! The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’
