New American Standard Bible 1995

Acts 20:28-32

28Be on guard for yourselves and for all 1the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you 2overseers, to shepherd 3the church of God which 4He 5purchased 6with His own blood.

29I know that after my departure 7savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing 8the flock;

30and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away 9the disciples after them.

31Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of 10three years I did not cease to admonish each one 11with tears.

32And now I 12commend you to God and to 13the word of His grace, which is able to 14build you up and to give you 15the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
