New Century Version

Acts 20:31-35 New Century Version (NCV)

31. So be careful! Always remember that for three years, day and night, I never stopped warning each of you, and I often cried over you.

32. “Now I am putting you in the care of God and the message about his grace. It is able to give you strength, and it will give you the blessings God has for all his holy people.

33. When I was with you, I never wanted anyone’s money or fine clothes.

34. You know I always worked to take care of my own needs and the needs of those who were with me.

35. I showed you in all things that you should work as I did and help the weak. I taught you to remember the words Jesus said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
