No one's silver or gold or clothing have I coveted.
34
You yourselves know that these hands of mine have provided for my own necessities and for the people with me.
35
In all things I have set you an example, showing you that, by working as I do, you ought to help the weak, and to bear in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, how He Himself said, "`It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

38
grieved above all things at his having told them that after that day they were no longer to see his face. And they went with him to the ship.
