20 quomodo nihil subtraxerim utilium, quominus annuntiarem vobis etdocerem vos publice et per domos,	20 how I held back nothing that was of value, how well I have preached to you, and that I have taught you publicly and throughout the houses,
21 testificans Iudaeis atque Graecis in Deumpaenitentiam et fidem in Dominum nostrum Iesum.	21 testifying both to Jews and to Gentiles about repentance in God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

24 Sed nihili facio animam meam pretiosam mihi, dummodoconsummem cursum meum et ministerium, quod accepi a Domino Iesu, testificarievangelium gratiae Dei.	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 Et nunc ecce ego scio quia amplius non videbitis faciem meam vos omnes, perquos transivi praedicans regnum;	25 And now, behold, I know that you will no longer see my face, all of you among whom I have traveled, preaching the kingdom of God.
26 quapropter contestor vos hodierna die, quiamundus sum a sanguine omnium;	26 For this reason, I call you as witnesses on this very day: that I am clean from the blood of all.
27 non enim subterfugi, quominus annuntiarem omneconsilium Dei vobis.	27 For I have not turned aside in the least from announcing every counsel of God to you.

32 Et nunc commendo vos Deo et verbo gratiae ipsius, qui potens est aedificareet dare hereditatem in sanctificatis omnibus.	32 And now, I commend you to God and to the Word of his grace. He has the power to build up, and to give an inheritance to all who are sanctified.
33 Argentum aut aurum aut vestemnullius concupivi;	33 I have coveted neither silver and gold, nor apparel,
34 ipsi scitis quoniam ad ea, quae mihi opus erant et his,qui mecum sunt, ministraverunt manus istae.	34 as you yourselves know. For that which was needed by me and by those who are with me, these hands have provided.
35 Omnia ostendi vobis quoniam siclaborantes oportet suscipere infirmos, ac meminisse verborum Domini Iesu,quoniam ipse dixit: “Beatius est magis dare quam accipere!” ”.	35 I have revealed all things to you, because by laboring in this way, it is necessary to support the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

38 dolentes maxime in verbo, quod dixerat, quoniam ampliusfaciem eius non essent visuri. Et deducebant eum ad navem.	38 being grieved most of all over the word which he had said, that they would never see his face again. And they brought him to the ship.
