19 and pray on my behalf , that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth , to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel , 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains ; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly , as I ought to speak .
21 But that you also may know about my circumstances e , how I am doing , Tychicus , the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord , will make everything known to you. 22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know about us, and that he may comfort your hearts . 23 Peace be to the brethren , and love with faith , from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ . 24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ephesians 6:19-24
Commentary on Ephesians 6:19-24
(Read Ephesians 6:19-24)
The gospel was a mystery till made known by Divine revelation; and it is the work of Christ's ministers to declare it. The best and most eminent ministers need the prayers of believers. Those particularly should be prayed for, who are exposed to great hardships and perils in their work. Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith. By peace, understand all manner of peace; peace with God, peace of conscience, peace among themselves. And the grace of the Spirit, producing faith and love, and every grace. These he desires for those in whom they were already begun. And all grace and blessings come to the saints from God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Grace, that is, the favour of God; and all good, spiritual and temporal, which is from it, is and shall be with all those who thus love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, and with them only.
