“For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
πρεσβεύω
Ambassador, representative, sent on behalf of another. Presbeúō. We are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making his appeal through us. You do not speak for yourself. Represent him well.
