31 Therefore 2be alert, remembering that 3for three years I did not cease night or day 4to admonish everyone 5with tears.
32 And now 6I commend you to God and to 7the word of his grace, which is able to 8build you up and to give you 9the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
33 10I coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel.
34 11You yourselves know that 12these hands ministered to my necessities and 13to those who were with me.
35 In all things 14I have shown you that 15by working hard in this way we must 16help the weak and 17remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, 'It is more blessed 18to give than to receive.'"
36 And when he had said these things, 19he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 And 20there was much weeping on the part of all; 21they embraced Paul and 22kissed him,
38 being sorrowful most of all because of 23the word he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And 24they accompanied him to the ship.
