Acts 20:29-36

²⁹For I know this, that there will come in amongst you after my departure grievous wolves, not sparing the flock;

³⁰and from among your own selves shall rise up men speaking perverted things to draw away the disciples after them.

³¹Wherefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not admonishing each one of you with tears.

³²And now I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and give to you an inheritance among all the sanctified.

³³I have coveted the silver or gold or clothing of no one.

³⁴Yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my wants, and to those who were with me.

³⁵I have shewed you all things, that thus labouring we ought to come in aid of the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

³⁶And having said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
