24
But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25
And now behold, I know that all you, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26
Wherefore I take you to witness this day that I am clear from the blood of all men.
27
For I have not spread to declare unto you all, the counsel of God.
28
Take heed to yourselves and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29
I know that after my departure ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30
And of your own selves shall arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31
Therefore watch, keeping in memory that for three years I ceased not with tears to admonish every one of you, night and day.
32
And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up and to give an inheritance among all the sanctified.
33
I have not coveted any man’s silver, gold or apparel, as
34
You yourselves know. For such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished.
