29I know that, after my departure, merciless wolves will get in amongst you, who will not spare the flock;
30and from amongst yourselves, too, people will arise, who will teach perversions of truth, so as to draw away the disciples after them.
31Therefore, be on your guard, remembering how for three years, night and day, I never ceased, even with tears, to warn each one of you.
32And now I commend you to the Lord and to the message of his love — a message which has the power to build up your characters, and to give you your place amongst all those who have become Christ's people.
