Instructions (COL 4:2-6)

[4:2] Be persistent in prayer, and keep alert as you pray, giving thanks to God.

[4:3] At the same time pray also for us, so that God will give us a good opportunity to preach his message about the secret of Christ. For that is why I am now in prison.

[4:4] Pray, then, that I may speak, as I should, in such a way as to make it clear.

[4:5] Be wise in the way you act toward those who are not believers, making good use of every opportunity you have.

[4:6] Your speech should always be pleasant and interesting, and you should know how to give the right answer to everyone.
