^{19 Ref} serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

^{20 Ref} how I didn't shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

^{21 Ref} testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.{TR adds "Christ"}

^{22 Ref} Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

^{23 Ref} except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.

^{24 Ref} But these things don't count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Gospel of the grace of God.

^{25 Ref} Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching the Kingdom of God, will see my face no more.

^{26 Ref} Therefore I testify to you this day that I am clean from the blood of all men,

^{27 Ref} for I didn't shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
