Acts 20:29

27 For I have not shunned to declare to you ^athe whole counsel of God.

28 ^aTherefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit ^bhas made you overseers, to shepherd the church¹ of God ^cwhich He purchased ^dwith His own blood.

29 For I know this, that after my departure ^asavage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Also ^afrom among yourselves men will rise up, speaking¹ perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

31 Therefore watch, and remember that ^afor three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.

32 “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and ^ato the word of His grace, which is able ^bto build you up and give you ^can inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
