Acts 20:31-35

Therefore, be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.

And now I entrust 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 those who are sanctified.

I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or clothes.

You yourselves know that these hands served my own needs and the men who were with me.

In everything I showed you that by working hard in this way you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’  ”
