¹⁸ And when they came to him, he said to them,

“You yourselves know, ^(A)from the first day that I set foot in ^[a]Asia, how I was with you the whole time, ¹⁹ serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and trials which came upon me ^[b]through ^(B)the plots of the Jews; ²⁰ how I ^(C)did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was beneficial, and teaching you publicly and ^[c]from house to house, ²¹ solemnly ^(D)testifying to both Jews and Greeks of ^(E)repentance toward God and ^(F)faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. ²² And now, behold, bound by the ^[d]Spirit, ^(G)I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there, ²³ except that ^(H)the Holy Spirit solemnly ^(I)testifies to me in every city, saying that ^(J)chains and afflictions await me. ²⁴ But ^(K)I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may ^(L)finish my course and ^(M)the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to ^(N)testify solemnly of the gospel of ^(O)God’s grace.
