ὡς
as
Here, the word as functions to introduce a reason why Paul must preach his message clearly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning of as with a word or phrase that introduces a reason for an action. Alternate translation: “because this is how”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
δεῖ με λαλῆσαι
˱it˲_/is/_fitting me /to/_speak
If your language would state who requires Paul to speak in these ways, you could include “God” as the one that role. Alternate translation: “God has commanded me to speak”
4:2-6 New Testament letters often end with an exhortation to pray, along with requests for prayer.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
