31 Watch, then, and remember that with many tears, day and night, I taught every one of you for three years.
32 “And now I commend you to the care of God and to the message of his grace, which is able to build you up and give you the blessings God has for all his people.
33 I have not wanted anyone's silver or gold or clothing.
34 You yourselves know that I have worked with these hands of mine to provide everything that my companions and I have needed.
35 I have shown you in all things that by working hard in this way we must help the weak, remembering the words that the Lord Jesus himself said, ‘There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.’ ”
36 When Paul finished, he knelt down with them and prayed.
37 They were all crying as they hugged him and kissed him goodbye.
