"But ^(C1)I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may ^(C2)finish my course and ^(C3)the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to ^(C4)testify solemnly of the gospel of ^(C5)God's grace.

"And now behold, I know that all of you, among whom I went about ^(C1)preaching the kingdom, will no longer see my face.

"Therefore, I ^(F1)testify to you this day that ^(C1)I am ^(F2)innocent of the blood of all people.

"For I ^(C1)did not shrink from declaring to you the whole ^(C2)purpose of God.

"Be on guard for yourselves and for all ^(C1)the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you ^(F1)overseers, to shepherd ^(C2)the church of God which ^(C3)He ^(F2)purchased ^(F3)with His own blood.

"I know that after my departure ^(C1)savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing ^(C2)the flock;

and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things to draw away ^(C1)the disciples after them.

"Therefore, be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of ^(C1)three years I did not cease to admonish each one ^(C2)with tears.

"And now I ^(C1)entrust you to God and to ^(C2)the word of His grace, which is able to ^(C3)build you up and to give you ^(C4)the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
