Meaning

In this verse, the apostle Paul expresses his desire for boldness in proclaiming the mysteries of the gospel. This passage reflects Paul's understanding of the weight and significance of sharing the message of Jesus Christ with others. By asking for "utterance" to be given unto him, Paul is seeking guidance and empowerment from the Holy Spirit to speak with confidence and clarity. The word "boldly" emphasizes the need for courage and fearlessness in spreading the gospel, despite potential opposition or challenges. Paul's willingness to step out in faith and declare the truth of the gospel reveals his commitment to fulfilling his calling as a messenger of Christ. As believers today, we can be inspired by Paul's example to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ boldly and unashamedly, trusting in the Holy Spirit to guide our words and bring about transformation in the hearts of those who hear.
