19servingG1398 the LordG2962 with allG3956 humilityG5012 and with tearsG1144 and with trialsG3986 which cameG4819 upon me 1throughG1722 2the plotsG1917 of the JewsG2453; 20howG5613 I 3did not shrinkG5288 from declaringG312 to you anythingG3762 that was profitableG4851, and teachingG1321 you publiclyG1219 and 4from houseG3624 to houseG3624, 21solemnlyG1263 5testifyingG1263 to bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672 of 6repentanceG3341 towardG1519 GodG2316 and 7faithG4102 in our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 22And nowG3568, beholdG2400, boundG1210 by the 8SpiritG4151, 9I amG4198 on my wayG4198 to JerusalemG2419, not knowingG3609 what will happenG4876 to me thereG1722G846, 23exceptG4133 that 10the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 solemnlyG1263 11testifiesG1263 to me in everyG2596 cityG4172, sayingG3004 that 12bondsG1199 and afflictionsG2347 awaitG3306 me. 24But 13I do not considerG4160 my lifeG5590 of anyG3762 accountG3056 as dearG5093 to myselfG1683, soG5613 that I may 14finishG5048 my courseG1408 and 15the ministryG1248 whichG3739 I receivedG2983 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424, to 16testifyG1263 solemnlyG1263 of the gospelG2098 of 17the graceG5485 of GodG2316.

25“And nowG3568, beholdG2400, I knowG3609 that allG3956 of you, amongG1722 whomG3739 I wentG1330 aboutG1330 18preachingG2784 the kingdomG932, will noG3765 longerG3765 seeG3708 my faceG4383. 26ThereforeG1360, I 19testifyG3143 to you thisG4594 dayG2250 that 20I amG1510 21innocentG2513 of the bloodG129 of allG3956 menG3956. 27For I 22did not shrinkG5288 from declaringG312 to you the wholeG3956 23purposeG1012 of GodG2316. 28Be on guardG4337 for yourselvesG1438 and for allG3956 24the flockG4168, amongG1722 whichG3739 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has madeG5087 you 25overseersG1985, to shepherdG4165 26the churchG1577 of GodG2316 whichG3739 27He 28purchasedG4046 29with His ownG2398 bloodG129. 29I knowG3609 that afterG3326 my departureG867 30savageG926 wolvesG3074 will comeG1525 in amongG1519 you, not sparingG5339 31the flockG4168; 30and from amongG1537 your own selvesG846 menG435 will ariseG450, speakingG2980 perverseG1294 thingsG1294, to drawG645 awayG645 32the disciplesG3101 afterG3694 them. 31ThereforeG1352 be on the alertG1127, rememberingG3421 that nightG3571 and dayG2250 for a periodG5148 of 33threeG5148 yearsG5148 I did not ceaseG3973 to admonishG3560 eachG1538 oneG1520 34with tearsG1144. 32And nowG3568 I 35commendG3908 you to GodG2316 and to 36the wordG3056 of His graceG5485, which is ableG1410 to 37buildG3618 you up and to giveG1325 you 38the inheritanceG2817 amongG1722 allG3956 thoseG3588 who are sanctifiedG37. 3339I have covetedG1937 noG3762 one’sG3762 silverG694 orG2228 goldG5553 orG2228 clothesG2441. 34You yourselvesG846 knowG1097 that 40theseG3778 handsG5495 ministeredG5256 to my own needsG5532 and to the 41men who were with me. 35In everythingG3956 I showedG5263 you that by workingG2872 hardG2872 in thisG3779 mannerG3779 you mustG1163 helpG482 the weakG770 and rememberG3421 the wordsG3056 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that He HimselfG846 saidG3004, ‘It is moreG3123 blessedG3107 to giveG1325 thanG2228 to receiveG2983.’”

36When he had saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, he 42kneltG1119G5087 downG5087G1119 and prayedG4336 with them allG3956. 37And 43they began to weepG2805 aloudG2425 and 4445embracedG1968G1909G5137 PaulG3972, and repeatedly kissedG2705 him, 3846grievingG3600 especiallyG3122 overG1909 47the wordG3056 whichG3739 he had spokenG3004, that they wouldG3195 not seeG2334 his faceG4383 againG3765. And they were 48accompanyingG4311 him to the shipG4143.
