Ephesians 6:21

Jesus Tychicus

¹⁹ Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel,

²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it fearlessly, as I should.

Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know about me and what I am doing.

²² I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.

²³ Peace to the brothers and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
