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.

colossians 4:2-6
