* Serving (5723 ) the Lord with all humility of mind , and with many tears , and temptations , which befell (5631 ) me by the lying in wait of the Jews : * And how I kept back (5668 ) nothing that was profitable (5723 ) unto you , but have shewed (5658 ) you , and have taught (5658 ) you publickly , and from house to house , * Testifying (5740 ) both to the Jews , and also to the Greeks , repentance toward God , and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ . * And now , behold (5628 ), I go (5736 ) bound (5772 ) in the spirit unto Jerusalem , not knowing (5761 ) the things that shall befall (5694 ) me there : * Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth (5736 ) in every city , saying (5723 ) that bonds and afflictions abide (5719 ) me . * But none of these things move me (5731 ), neither count I (5719 ) my life dear unto myself , so that I might finish (5658 ) my course with joy , and the ministry , which I have received (5627 ) of the Lord Jesus , to testify (5664 ) the gospel of the grace of God . * And now , behold (5628 ), I know (5758 ) that ye all , among whom I have gone (5627 ) preaching (5723 ) the kingdom of God , shall see (5695 ) my face no more . * Wherefore I take you to record (5736 ) this day , that I am pure from the blood of all men . * For I have not shunned (5668 ) to declare (5658 ) unto you all the counsel of God . * Take heed (5720 ) therefore unto yourselves , and to all the flock , over the which the Holy Ghost hath made (5639 ) you overseers , to feed (5721 ) the church of God , which he hath purchased (5668 ) with his own blood . * For I know (5758 ) this , that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in (5695 ) among you , not sparing (5740 ) the flock . * Also of your own selves shall men arise (5698 ), speaking (5723 ) perverse things (5772 ), to draw away (5721 ) disciples after them . * Therefore watch (5720 ), and remember (5723 ), that by the space of three years I ceased (5668 ) not to warn (5723 ) every one night and day with tears .
