²⁶ Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent^[a] of everyone’s blood,^{(A) 27} for I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole plan of God.^{(B) 28} Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock^(C) that the Holy Spirit has appointed you to as overseers,^(D) to shepherd the church of God,^[b] which He purchased with His own blood.^{(E) 29} I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. ³⁰ And men will rise up from your own number with deviant doctrines to lure the disciples into following them.^{(F) 31} Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for three years I did not stop warning each one of you with tears.^(G)

³² “And now^[c] I commit you to God and to the message of His grace,^(H) which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance^(I) among all who are sanctified.
