Acts 20:31-38

31 Therefore 1be alert, remembering that 2for three years I did not cease night or day 3to admonish everyone 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.
