14. DOOR FOR THE GOSPEL
Colossians 4:2-6
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and
thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a
door for our message, so that we may proclaim the
mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I
may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way
you act toward outsiders; make the most of every
opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of
grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to
answer everyone.
