Slaves, obey your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ; --Eph 6:5

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching to this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. --Eph 6:18

And pray for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, --Eph 6:19
20
for which I am an ambassador in bonds; so that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. --Eph 6:20

22
whom I have sent to you for the same purpose, that you might know our affairs and that he might comfort your hearts. --Eph 6:22
