This request underscores the communal nature of the faith and the reliance on the body of Christ for spiritual support. It reflects the humility of Paul, acknowledging his need for divine assistance despite his apostolic authority.that whenever I open my mouth Paul's ministry was heavily reliant on verbal proclamation. In the Greco-Roman world, oral communication was a primary means of spreading ideas. This phrase emphasizes the importance of speech in evangelism and teaching, a theme consistent throughout Paul's letters. It also suggests readiness and the need for divine timing in sharing the gospel.words may be given me Paul seeks divine inspiration for his speech, recognizing that effective ministry requires words empowered by the Holy Spirit. This echoes Jesus' promise in <a href="/matthew/10-19.htm">Matthew 10:19-20</a>, where He assures His disciples that the Spirit will provide them with the words to speak in times of need. It highlights the dependence on God for wisdom and clarity in communication.so that I will boldly Boldness is a recurring theme in Paul's writings, often associated with the courage to speak truth in the face of opposition. In the context of Ephesians, written during Paul's imprisonment, boldness takes on a deeper significance, as it involves proclaiming the gospel despite personal risk. This reflects the early church's experience of persecution and the need for divine courage.make known the mystery of the gospel The "mystery" refers to the previously hidden truth now revealed through Christ, particularly the inclusion of Gentiles in God's redemptive plan (<a href="/ephesians/3-6.htm">Ephesians 3:6</a>).

The "opening the mouth"--an expression always used of solemn and deliberate utterance--seems taken for granted. What the Apostle desires them to pray for is that "word may be given him"--"the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge, by the Spirit" (<a href="/1_corinthians/12-8.htm" title="For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;">1Corinthians 12:8</a>), according to our Lord's promise (<a href="/context/matthew/10-19.htm" title="But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak.">Matthew 10:19-20</a>), "It shall be given you in the same hour what you shall speak; for it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you." Then he adds as a consequence of this--to make known in plainness of speech the mystery of the gospel. For to make known a mystery in simplicity needs not only boldness to speak, but also the knowledge of the true word of God.The mystery of the gospel.--The word "gospel" being used emphatically is, of course, the mystery of the new and universal grace of God to the Gentiles of which he speaks at large in <a href="/context/ephesians/3-1.htm" title="For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,">Ephesians 3:1-10</a>.

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 opening of my mouth." To open the mouth denotes an authoritative act of teaching (comp. <a href="/matthew/5-2.htm">Matthew 5:2</a>); on such occasions he especially desired boldness, not stormy vehemence, but earnestness, fearlessness in making known the destination of the gospel, once secret, now designed for all (comp. <a href="/ephesians/2.htm">Ephesians 2</a>.).
