You know, from the first day that I arrived in Asia, how I’ve been with you at all seasons, serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears and temptations, that happened to me by the persecution of the Jewish people. I kept back nothing that could benefit you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and in your homes, testifying both to the Jewish people and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. And now, I’m determined to go to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there. But the Holy Ghost witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me. But none of these things affect me, neither do I count my life dear to myself, so that I might finish my mission with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the Gospel of the Grace of God. And now, I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. I tell you today for the record, that I have a good conscience. I have not hesitated to declare to you all the advice of God. Take care of yourselves, and of all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the Church of God, which He has purchased with His own blood. For I know this, that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also among your own selves shall men arise, speaking contrary things, to draw away disciples after them. (Such is the division of the Church) Therefore watch, and remember, that over the last three years I never stopped warning every one, night and day, with tears. And now, brethren, I commend you to God (put you in God’s hands), and to the word of his Grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified (set apart). I have asked for no man's silver, or gold, or clothing. Yes, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my own needs, and to them that were with me. I have taught you all things, how that working you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
