An Encouragement For Prayer (Colossians 4:2-6) New Living and Good News Translations

NEW LIVING TRANSLATION
2  Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. 
3  Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. 
4  Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should.
5  Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity.
6  Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.

GOOD NEWS TRANSLATION
2  Be persistent in prayer, and keep alert as you pray, giving thanks to God. 
3  At the same time pray also for us, so that God will give us a good opportunity to preach his message about the secret of Christ. For that is why I am now in prison. 
4  Pray, then, that I may speak, as I should, in such a way as to make it clear.
5  Be wise in the way you act toward those who are not believers, making good use of every opportunity you have. 
6  Your speech should always be pleasant and interesting, and you should know how to give the right answer to everyone.
