Be not you therefore G3767 ashamed G1870 of the testimony G3142 of our Lord, G2962 nor G3366 of me his prisoner: G1198 but be you partaker G4777 of the afflictions G4777 of the gospel G2098 according G2596 to the power G1411 of God; G2316

For the which G3739 cause G156 I also G2532 suffer G3958 these G5023 things: nevertheless G235 I am not ashamed: G1870 for I know G1492 whom G3739 I have believed, G4100 and am persuaded G3982 that he is able G1415 to keep G5442 that which I have committed G3866 to him against G1519 that day. G2250

The Lord G2962 give G1325 mercy G1656 to the house G3624 of Onesiphorus; G3683 for he oft G4178 refreshed G404 me, and was not ashamed G1870 of my chain: G254

For I will show G5263 him how G3745 great G3745 things he must G1163 suffer G3958 for my name's G3686 sake.

For which G3739 I am an ambassador G4243 in bonds: G254 that therein G1722 G846 I may speak boldly, G3955 as I ought G1163 to speak. G2980

Having G2192 your G5216 conversation G391 honest G2570 among G1722 the Gentiles: G1484 that, whereas G1722 G3759 they speak G2635 against G1909 you as evildoers, G2555 they may by your G3588 good G2570 works, G2041 which they shall behold, G2029 glorify G1392 God G2316 in the day G2250 of visitation. G1984

Or G1535 to governors, G2232 as to them that are sent G3992 by him for the punishment G1557 of evildoers, G2555 and for the praise G1868 of them that do G17 well. G17

Having G2192 a good G18 conscience; G4893 that, whereas G1722 G3759 they speak G2635 evil G2635 of you, as of evildoers, G2555 they may be ashamed G2617 that falsely accuse G1908 your G5216 good G18 conversation G391 in Christ. G5547

But let none G3361 of you suffer G3958 as a murderer, G5406 or G2228 as a thief, G2812 or G2228 as an evildoer, G2555 or G2228 as a busybody G244 in other G244 men's matters.

Preaching G2784 the kingdom G932 of God, G2316 and teaching G1321 those G3588 things which concern G4012 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 with all G3956 confidence, G3954 no G209 man forbidding G209 him.

And for me, that utterance G3056 may be given G1325 to me, that I may open G1722 G457 my mouth G4750 boldly, G3954 to make G1107 known G1107 the mystery G3466 of the gospel, G2098

For which G3739 I am an ambassador G4243 in bonds: G254 that therein G1722 G846 I may speak boldly, G3955 as I ought G1163 to speak. G2980

But I would you should understand, G1097 brothers, G80 that the things which happened to me have fallen G2064 out rather G3123 to the furtherance G4297 of the gospel; G2098

And many G4119 of the brothers G80 in the Lord, G2962 waxing G3982 confident G3982 by my bonds, G1199 are much G4056 more G4056 bold G5111 to speak G2980 the word G3056 without G870 fear. G870

Finally, G3063 brothers, G80 pray G4336 for us, that the word G3056 of the Lord G2962 may have G2192 free course, G5143 and be glorified, G1392 even G2532 as it is with you:

For this G5127 cause G5484 I Paul, G3972 the prisoner G1198 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 for you Gentiles, G1484

Even G2531 as it is meet G1342 for me to think G5426 this G5124 of you all, G3956 because G1223 I have G2192 you in my heart; G2588 inasmuch G1909 G3745 as both G5037 in my bonds, G1199 and in the defense G627 and confirmation G951 of the gospel, G2098 you all G3956 are partakers G4791 of my grace. G5485

With G260 praying G4336 also G2532 for us, that God G2316 would open G455 to us a door G2374 of utterance, G3056 to speak G2980 the mystery G3466 of Christ, G5547 for which G3739 I am also G2532 in bonds: G1210

The salutation G783 by the hand G5495 of me Paul. G3972 Remember G3421 my bonds. G1199 Grace G5485 be with you. Amen. G281 Written from Rome to Colossians by Tychicus and Onesimus
