Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

And He said to them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

Now I exhort you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God on my behalf,

you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given through many persons on our behalf for the gracious gift granted to us by many.

and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

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 bonds,

pray without ceasing,

Brethren, pray for us.

Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.

But I especially urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you more quickly.

And the Word of God grew, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

But the Word of God grew and increased.

And the Word of the Lord was carried throughout all the region.

So the Word of the Lord grew mightily and was powerful.

For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many opposing.

for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of bonds; but the Word of God is not bound.

I will bow down toward Your holy temple, and give thanks unto Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your Word above all Your name.

Now when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the Word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed unto eternal life believed.

For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know of what sort we were among you for your sake.

For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not without fruit.

For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the Word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.
