Col 4:3. Ἡμῶν, for us) Ch. Col 1:1.-ἀνοίξῃ θύραν τοῦ λόγου, would open the [but Engl. Vers. not of the mouth; therefore, “a door”] door of utterance) i.e. the mouth, Eph 6:19; Mic 7:5. A great opportunity is elsewhere called a door [and so Engl. Vers. here], 1Co 16:9.-δέδεμαι, ἵνα φανερώσω, I am in bonds, that I may make it manifest[29]) a paradox; as in 2Ti 2:9; Php 1:12-13.

[29] But Engl. Vers. puts a colon after bonds; so that ἵνα is thus connected with προσευχόμενοι, not δέδεμαι.-ED.
