The Ephesian Elders Exhorted

¹⁷ From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.

³² “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and ^(A)to the word of His grace, which is able ^(B)to build you up and give you ^(C)an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. ³³ I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel. ^34 [a]Yes, you yourselves know ^(D)that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me. ³⁵ I have shown you in every way, ^(E)by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

¹⁷ For we are not, as ^[a]so many, ^(A)peddling^[b] the word of God; but as ^(B)of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

⁹ For you remember, brethren, our ^(A)labor and toil; for laboring night and day, ^(B)that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
