# that a message might be given to me

This can be stated in active form. AT: "that God might give me the word" or "God might give me the message" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# when I open my mouth. Pray that I might make known with boldness

"when I speak. Pray that I boldly explain"

# open my mouth

This is a metonym for speaking. AT: "speak" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# It is for the gospel that I am an ambassador who is kept in chains
