Acts 20:19-24
English Standard Version
19 (A)serving the Lord (B)with all humility and with (C)tears and with trials that happened to me through (D)the plots of the Jews; 20 how I (E)did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and (F)teaching you in public and from house to house, 21 (G)testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of (H)repentance toward God and of (I)faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.[a] 22 And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained (J)by[b] the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there, 23 except that (K)the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that (L)imprisonment and (M)afflictions await me. 24 But (N)I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only (O)I may finish my course and (P)the ministry (Q)that I received from the Lord Jesus, (R)to testify to (S)the gospel of (T)the grace of God.

Acts 20:19-24
New International Version
19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears(A) and in the midst of severe testing by the plots of my Jewish opponents.(B) 20 You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything(C) that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. 21 I have declared to both Jews(D) and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance(E) and have faith in our Lord Jesus.(F)
22 “And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem,(G) not knowing what will happen to me there. 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me(H) that prison and hardships are facing me.(I) 24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me;(J) my only aim is to finish the race(K) and complete the task(L) the Lord Jesus has given me(M)—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.(N)
