meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains,that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.Tychicus, a beloved brother, faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are happening here.Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark the cousin of Barnabas( about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him),and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me.Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.For I bear him witness that he has a great zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the church that is in his house.Now when this epistle is read among you, see that it is read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.And say to Archippus,“ Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.”This salutation by my own hand— Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.

1 Peter 4 12-1 Peter 4 16
Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters.Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.

For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

Acts 20:23-24
except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me.But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

1 Thessalonians 1 8-1 Thessalonians 1 9
For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything.For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
