Acts 20:35

Paul's Farewell To The Ephesian Elders

³⁴ yourselves, acknowledge that, for my necessities and for those who were with me, hard wrought these hands! ³⁵ In all things, I gave you to understand, that, thus toiling, it behoves to be helping the weak, also to be keeping in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, that, he himself, said - Happy is it, rather to give than to receive! ³⁶ And, these things saying, kneeling down with them all, he prayed.
