Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand complete and full-grown in all the will of God;

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the full true knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

Moreover, as for me, far be it from me to sin against Jehovah to cease to pray for you; for I have taught you the good and the right way.

Yea, you cast off fear, and restrain meditation before the Mighty God.

For what is the hope of the hypocrite when he is cut off, when God draws out his soul?

Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he always call upon God?

As for me, I will call upon God, and Jehovah will deliver me.

Evening and morning and at noon I meditate and am in a stir; and He will hear my voice.

In return for my love they are my adversaries, but I am in prayer.

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not faint,

rejoicing in hope, patient in affliction, continuing steadfastly in prayer;

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

pray without ceasing,

in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Watch and pray, that you not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.

Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be of sound mind and calm in your prayers.

being rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, even the Father, through Him.
