And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
For me - a different Greek preposition х huper (G5228): 'on my behalf' in particular] from that in Ephesians 6:18 х peri (G4012): concerning].
That I may open my mouth boldly, х en (G1722) anoixei (G457) tou (G3588) stomatos (G4750) mou (G3450) en (G1722) parreesia (G3954) gnoorisai (G1107)] - 'that there, may be given to me "utterance" ('speech') in the opening of my mouth (when I undertake to speak: a formula in set and solemn speech: Job 3:1; Daniel 10:16; Matthew 5:2), so as with boldness to make known,' etc. Plainness of speech was the more needed, as the Gospel is a "mystery" indiscoverable by reason; only known by revelation. 'Aleph (') A Delta f, Vulgate, support "of the Gospel." B G omit. Paul looked for utterance to be given him: he did not depend on natural or acquired power. The shortest road to any heart is round by heaven: pray to God to open the door and to open your mouth, so as to avail yourself of every opening (Jeremiah 1:7-8; Ezekiel 3:8-9; Ezekiel 3:11; 2 Corinthians 4:13).
