Exercise 6: Colossians 4:2-6

2 Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.

3 Don't forget to pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to preach about his secret plan — that Christ is also for you Gentiles. That is why I am here in chains.

4 Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should. 

5 Live wisely among those who are not Christians, and make the most of every opportunity.

6 Let your conversation be gracious and effective so that you will have the right answer for everyone.
