in among you, not sparing the flock.
020:030 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things,
to draw away the disciples after them.
020:031 Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years
I didn't cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.
020:032 Now, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where the context
allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters"
or "siblings."} I entrust you to God, and to the word of his grace,
which is able to build up, and to give you the inheritance
among all those who are sanctified.
020:033 I coveted no one's silver, or gold, or clothing.
020:034 You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities,
and those who were with me.
020:035 In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought

020:037 They all wept a lot, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him,
