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. 25 And now, behold, (U)I know that none of you among whom I have gone about (V)proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again. 26 Therefore (W)I testify to you this day that (X)I am innocent of the blood of all, 27 for (Y)I did not shrink from declaring to you (Z)the whole counsel of God. 28 (AA)Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all (AB)the flock, in which (AC)the Holy Spirit has made you (AD)overseers, (AE)to care for (AF)the church of God,[c] which he (AG)obtained (AH)with his own blood.[d] 29 I (AI)know that after my departure (AJ)fierce wolves will come in among you, (AK)not sparing the flock; 30 and (AL)from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Therefore (AM)be alert, remembering that (AN)for three years I did not cease night or day (AO)to admonish every one (AP)with tears.
