以弗所书 6:19 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:18-20

"Praying always." Here is a part of the Christian's amour which had nothing corresponding to it in the panoply of the Roman soldier. Prayer comes in without any figure. We are taught that, even when every spiritual weapon is prepared and directed against the spiritual foe, all is in vain without a direct appeal to God. When Jacob, looking for an attack by Esau, had completed his arrangements of his family and flocks, the most important part of his preparations remained—another warfare had... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:18-20

True prayer. The arming and fighting referred to in the previous verses are to be accompanied with praying. Prayer is as necessary as action. The part of Moses on the mount was at least as important as that of Joshua on the plain. Consider the character and object of true prayer. 1. THE CHARACTER OF TRUE PRAYER . 1. Earnestness . What a ring of vehement intensity sounds through the apostle's words! Here is a man who believes in prayer and is greatly anxious to secure... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:19

And for me. Mark the un-priestly idea; so far from Paul having a store of grace for all the Galatians, he needed their prayers that, out of the one living store, the needful grace might be given to him. That utterance may be given to me, in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel. With all his practice in preaching, he felt that every instance of right utterance was a gift— "may be given to me;" especially when great matters were involved—"in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 6:19-20

Prayer for an ambassador in bonds. The apostle feels his need of the prayers of the saints, because he has a true appreciation of the difficulty and importance of his work. I. THE BLESSING HE ASKS FOR . It is no temporal blessing, not even release from imprisonment that he might more widely preach the gospel. It is simply that "utterance might be given to him" to preach the mystery of the gospel with boldness. This implies: II. A DOUBLE ARGUMENT TO BESPEAK AN ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ephesians 6:19

And for me - Paul was then a prisoner at Rome. He specially needed the prayers of Christians:(1) That he might be sustained in his afflictions; and,(2) That he might be able to manifest the spirit which he ought, and to do good as he had opportunity. Learn hence that we should pray for the prisoner, the captive, the man in chains, the slave. There are in this land (the United States) about ten thousand prisoners - husbands, fathers, sons, brothers; or wives, mothers, daughters. True, they are... read more

Ephesians 6:19-20. And for me also See on Colossians 4:3; that utterance may be given unto me Free liberty of expression, every inward and every outward hinderance being removed; that I may open my mouth boldly May deliver the whole truth without any base fear, shame, or diffidence, considering how important it is to the glory of God, and the salvation of mankind, that it should be so delivered; to make known the mystery of the gospel In the clearest and most effectual manner.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ephesians 6:10-24

The Christian’s warfare (6:10-24)For Christians, life involves warfare, though the battle is not with earthy forces but with spiritual. They are involved in a struggle against hostile demonic powers who have rebelled against God and oppose his people. As ancient soldiers wore armour when they fought their battles, so Christians must prepare themselves for conflict. They receive their armour, as well as their strength, from God, but they themselves must fight the battle. Above all they must make... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ephesians 6:19

And on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.As Paul constantly prayed for others, he earnestly desired that others should constantly pray for him. The reason why he felt especially in need of prayer was stated in the next verse. He was an ambassador of the Highest, yet he was chained to a Roman soldier; but Paul was not intimidated by the disparity between his true status and that which might have seemed to be... read more
