withal praying for us also, that God may open unto us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;
|
προσευχόμενοι ἅμα καὶ περὶ ἡμῶν, ἵνα ὁ θεὸς ἀνοίξῃ ἡμῖν θύραν τοῦ λόγου, λαλῆσαι τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ χριστοῦ, δι’ ὃ καὶ δέδεμαι·

Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.
