20:27 For I did
not hold back from
announcing to
you the
whole purpose of
God.
28 Watch out for
yourselves and for
all the
flock of which the
Holy Spirit has
made you overseers,
to
shepherd the
church of
God that he
obtained with the
blood of
his own Son.
29 I know that after I am
gone fierce wolves will
come in among you,
not sparing the
flock.
30 Even from among your own group men will
arise,
teaching perversions of the truth to
draw the
disciples away after them.
31 Therefore be alert,
remembering that night and day for
three years I did
not stop warning each one of you
with tears.
32 And now I
entrust you to
God and to the
message of
his grace. This message
is
able to
build you up and give you an
inheritance among all those who are
sanctified.
33 I have
desired no one’s silver or gold or clothing.
34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine
provided for my needs and the needs of those who
were with me.
35 By
all these things,
I have
shown you that by
working in this way we
must help the
weak,
and remember the
words of the
Lord Jesus that he
himself said, ‘It
is more blessed to
give than to
receive.’”
