Acts 20:31-33

³¹So watch out. Make sure each one of you keeps on believing the true story about Jesus. Remember, I was here with you for 3 years, and for all that time I always told you not to believe a different message. And if I thought you were going wrong, I even cried about you.”

³²Paul kept on talking. He said, “Now I’m asking God to keep you safe, and to keep you believing the true message that God is very good to you and will save you. If you keep on believing that message you will grow strong spiritually. You will know you are in God’s family, and God will give you the good things he is keeping for his own people.

³³Listen, you mob know me. Do you remember that way I lived with you? I showed you the right way for a Christian to live. I never wanted to get anyone’s money or good clothes. I always worked with my hands to get the money that I needed, and to get money for my friends, too.
