20  how I kept back nothing that was profitable, but declared it to you, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

20  And yet I did not neglect to preach to you about those things which were good for your souls, and I taught in the streets and from house to house.

21  solemnly bearing witness to both Jews and to Greeks, the repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

21  testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22  And now I am on my way to Jerusalem, bound in the spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there

23  except that the Holy Spirit in every city is solemnly bearing witness, saying that bonds and tribulations are waiting for me.

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

24  But I count myself as nothing; nor do I regard my life as valuable to myself, so that I may complete my course with joy, and the ministry which I received from YHWH Jesus, to bear solemn testimony to the gospel of the grace of God.

24  But I dread none of these things. Neither do I consider my life to be more precious because it is my own, provided that in some way I may complete my own course and that of the ministry of the Word, which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the Gospel of the grace of God.

25  And now behold, now I know that you all, among whom I have passed through preaching the kingdom of God, will no longer see my face.

25  And now I know that you, among whom I have traveled and preached the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

29  For I know this, that savage wolves will come in after my departure, not sparing the flock.

29  I know that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock;

30  Also from among you yourselves will arise men speaking things having been distorted, [in order] to draw away the disciples after them.

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

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

31  Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years, night and day I did not cease, with tears, exhorting each one.

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

35  By all things I have shown you, that thus laboring it is necessary to help [those] being weak, and to remember the words of YHWH Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' "

35  I have showed you all things, how that one must work hard, and be mindful of the weak, and remember the words of our LORD Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
