Acts 20:31-38

31 Therefore ¹be alert, remembering that ²for three years I did not cease night or day ³to admonish every one ⁴with tears.

32 And now ⁵I commend you to God and to ⁶the word of his grace, which is able to ⁷build you up and to give you ⁸the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

33 ⁹I coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel.

34 ¹⁰You yourselves know that ¹¹these hands ministered to my necessities and ¹²to those who were with me.

35 In all things ¹³I have shown you that ¹⁴by working hard in this way we must ¹⁵help the weak and ¹⁶remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed ¹⁷to give than to receive. ’”

36 And when he had said these things, ¹⁸he knelt down and prayed with them all.

37 And ¹⁹there was much weeping on the part of all; ²⁰they embraced Paul and ²¹kissed him,

38 being sorrowful most of all because of ²²the word he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And ²³they accompanied him to the ship.
