What Does Ephesians 6:19 Mean?
Paul makes a personal request: 'for me, that utterance may be given unto me.' Even the great apostle asks for prayer, and not for his comfort but for boldness in proclaiming the gospel. He longs to 'open my mouth boldly' with the message entrusted to him.
His desire is 'to make known the mystery of the gospel' -- the very mystery he has unfolded throughout the letter. Paul's heart is set on the gospel's advance, not his own ease. He asks the church to pray that he might speak God's good news fearlessly, whatever his circumstances.
