NETBible

With every prayer and petition, pray¹ at all times in the Spirit, and to this end² be alert, with all perseverance and requests for all the saints.

NET Notes

¹tn Both “pray” and “be alert” are participles in the Greek text (“praying…being alert”). Both are probably instrumental, loosely connected with all of the preceding instructions. As such, they are not additional commands to do but instead are the means through which the prior instructions are accomplished.

²tn Grk “and toward it.”
