(19) That utterance may be given me, that I may open my mouth . . .--This hardly renders the original "that word may be given me in opening my mouth." The "opening the mouth"--an expression always used of solemn and deliberate utterance--seems taken for granted. What the Apostle desires them to pray for is that "word may be given him"--"the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge, by the Spirit" (1Corinthians 12:8), according to our Lord's promise (Matthew 10:19-20), "It shall be given you in the same hour what you shall speak; for it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you." Then he adds as a consequence of this--to make known in plainness of speech the mystery of the gospel. For to make known a mystery in simplicity needs not only boldness to speak, but also the knowledge of the true word of God. The mystery of the gospel.--The word "gospel" being used emphatically is, of course, the mystery of the new and universal grace of God to the Gentiles of which he speaks at large in Ephesians 3:1-10.

That utterance may be given to me, in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel. With all his practice in preaching, he felt that every instance of right utterance was a gift - "may be given to me;" especially when great matters were involved - "in the opening of my mouth." To open the mouth denotes an authoritative act of teaching (comp. Matthew 5:2); on such occasions he especially desired boldness, not stormy vehemence, but earnestness, fearlessness in making known the destination of the gospel, once secret, now designed for all (comp. Ephesians 2.). Boldness was needed because the message was so hateful to some and so contemptible to others.Parallel Commentaries ...
