Acts 20:26-32
New King James Version
26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am (A)innocent[a] of the blood of all men. 27 For I have not [b]shunned to declare to you (B)the whole counsel of God. 28 (C)Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit (D)has made you overseers, to shepherd the church [c]of God (E)which He purchased (F)with His own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departure (G)savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also (H)from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking [d]perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. 31 Therefore watch, and remember that (I)for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
32 “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and (J)to the word of His grace, which is able (K)to build you up and give you (L)an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

New International Version
26 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you.(A) 27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.(B) 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock(C) of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers.(D) Be shepherds of the church of God,[a](E) which he bought(F) with his own blood.[b](G) 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves(H) will come in among you and will not spare the flock.(I) 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples(J) after them. 31 So be on your guard! Remember that for three years(K) I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.(L)
32 “Now I commit you to God(M) and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance(N) among all those who are sanctified.(O)
