19. Also pray for me—that when I speak, God will give me words so that I can tell the secret truth about the Good News without fear.
20. I have the work of speaking for that Good News, and that is what I am doing now, here in prison. Pray that when I tell people the Good News, I will speak without fear as I should.
21. I am sending you Tychicus, the brother we love. He is a faithful servant of the Lord’s work. He will tell you everything that is happening with me. Then you will know how I am and what I am doing.
22. That’s why I am sending him—to let you know how we are and to encourage you.
23. I pray that God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will give peace and love with faith to all the brothers and sisters there.
