Acts 20:28-35
New King James Version
28 (A)Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit (B)has made you overseers, to shepherd the church [a]of God (C)which He purchased (D)with His own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departure (E)savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also (F)from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking [b]perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. 31 Therefore watch, and remember that (G)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 (H)to the word of His grace, which is able (I)to build you up and give you (J)an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33 I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel. 34 [c]Yes, you yourselves know (K)that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me. 35 I have shown you in every way, (L)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.’ ”

King James Version
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
