1 Thessalonians 5:14 (Listen)

14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.

(ESV)

Colossians 4:2–6 (Listen)

2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.

5 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. 6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

(ESV)

I thought “What a joke!” but I wanted to be free and I’d already tried everything else so I gave it a go.
