Chapter 3 continues with a prayer, one that serves as a conclusion to the 1st three chapters. This message covers the first half of the prayer (v. 14-17) that is one long sentence from vs. 14-21. We will look at how Paul addresses God, Paul's request, and the expected result. Finishing with 4 conclusions that flow from the text, the purpose of this prayer is to provide a firm foundation for how to live life, or stated differently, to prepare us for the last three chapters of the letter.
