23save that the Holy Spirit testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

23Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

23Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem.

24But I hold not my life of any account as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

24But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

24But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

24But I put no value on my life, if only at the end of it I may see the work complete which was given to me by the Lord Jesus, to be a witness of the good news of the grace of God.

26Wherefore I take you to witness this day that I am clear from the blood of all men.

26And so I say to you this day that I am clean from the blood of all men.

27For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God.

27For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

27For I have not spread to declare unto you all, the counsel of God.

30and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

30And of your own selves shall arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

30And from among yourselves will come men who will give wrong teaching, turning away the disciples after them.

31Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.

31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

31Therefore watch, keeping in memory that for three years I ceased not with tears to admonish every one of you, night and day.

31So keep watch, having in mind that for three years without resting I was teaching every one of you, day and night, with weeping.

32And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you the inheritance among all them that are sanctified.

34You yourselves know. For such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished.

34You yourselves have seen that with these hands I got what was necessary for me and those who were with me.

35In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

35I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

35I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive.

35In all things I was an example to you of how, in your lives, you are to give help to the feeble, and keep in memory the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.
