Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. {in bonds: or, in a chain} {therein: or, thereof}

Then Peter and the {other} apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: {plainness: or, boldness}

And my speech and my preaching {was} not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: {enticing: or, persuasible}

For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. {in bonds: or, in a chain} {therein: or, thereof}

Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: {plainness: or, boldness}
