1st Thessalonians 5:25

  • 5:25   Brethren, pray for us.

    • //  Praying for Saints

    Ephesians 6:10-20

  • 6:10   Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
  • 6:11   Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
  • 6:12   For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
  • 6:13   Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
  • 6:14   Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
  • 6:15   And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
  • 6:16   Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
  • 6:17   And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
  • 6:18   Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
  • 6:19   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,
  • 6:20   For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

    • Colossians 4:2-4

  • 4:2   Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
  • 4:3   Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
  • 4:4   That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

    • 2nd Corinthians 1:11

  • 1:11   Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift [bestowed] upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

    • 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2

  • 3:1   Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have [free] course, and be glorified, even as [it is] with you:
  • 3:2   And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all [men] have not faith.

    • Romans 15:30-32

  • 15:30   Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in [your] prayers to God for me;
  • 15:31   That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which [I have] for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
  • 15:32   That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

    • Philippians 1:14-21

  • 1:14   And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
  • 1:15   Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
  • 1:16   The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
  • 1:17   But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
  • 1:18   What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
  • 1:19   For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
  • 1:20   According to my earnest expectation and [my] hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but [that] with all boldness, as always, [so] now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether [it be] by life, or by death.
  • 1:21   For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.
    If I'm living, it's because of Jesus. If I die, I get to be with Jesus!
