Ephesians 6:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Constant Prayer. 18 With all prayer and supplication, pray at every opportunity in the Spirit. To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones(A) 19 and also for me, that speech may be given me to open my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel(B) 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, so that I may have the courage to speak as I must.(C)

- 6:21–24 Tychicus: the bearer of the letter; see note on Col 4:7. Eph 6:21–22 parallel Col 4:7–8, often word for word. If Ephesians is addressed to several Christian communities (see Introduction), it is understandable that no greetings to individual members of these communities should have been included in it.
