020:020 and that I never shrank from declaring to you anything that
was profitable, or from teaching you in public and in your homes,
020:021 and urging upon both Jews and Greeks the necessity of turning
to God and of believing in Jesus our Lord.
020:022 "And now, impelled by a sense of duty, I am on my way to Jerusalem,
not knowing what will happen to me there,
020:023 except that the Holy Spirit, at town after town, testifies to me

020:024 But even the sacrifice of my life I count as nothing, if only I

in and out proclaiming the coming of the Kingdom will any

020:026 Therefore I protest to you to-day that I am not responsible
for the ruin of any one of you.
020:027 For I have not shrunk from declaring to you God's whole truth.

and will not spare the flock;
020:030 and that from among your own selves men will rise up who will seek
with their perverse talk to draw away the disciples after them.

even with tears.
020:032 "And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
