PAULOS AND THE EPHESIAN ELDERS
And from Miletus he sends to Ephesus and calls the elders of the ecclesia: 18 and when they come to him, he says to them, You understand, from the first day I embarked into Asia, after what manner I became with you at all times: 19 serving Adonay with all humblemindedness and with many tears and testings which happened to me by the plotting of the Yah Hudiym: 20 and how I withheld naught beneficial, that I evangelized not to you; and doctrinated you publicly and from house to house 21 - witnessing both to the Yah Hudiym and to the Hellenes repentance to Elohim, and trust to our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah. 22 And now, behold, I go bound in the Spirit to Yeru Shalem, not knowing those that meet me there: 23 except that the Holy Spirit witnesses in every city, wording that bonds and tribulations abide me. 24 But none of these words move me nor regard I my soul precious to myself - so as to complete/shalam my race with cheer, and the ministry I took of Adonay Yah Shua, to witness the evangelism of the charism of Elohim. 25 And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I pass through preaching the sovereigndom of Elohim, see my face no more. 26 So I witness to you in this day, that I am pure from the blood of all: 27 for I withhold naught to evangelize the whole counsel of Elohim to you. 28 So heed to yourselves and to all the shepherddom, over which the Holy Spirit placed you episcopates - to shepherd the ecclesia of Elohim which he acquired through his own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departing, burdenous wolves enter to you, not sparing the shepherddom. 30 And of your own selves, men rise, speaking thorough perversions, to draw disciples after them. 31 So watch, and remember, that for three years I paused not to remind each one night and day with tears. 32 And now, brothers, I set you forth to Elohim, and to the word of his charism, which is able to build you, and to give you an inheritance among all the hallowed. 33 I panted after silver or gold or garment from no one. 34 Yes, you yourselves know that these hands tended to my necessities - and to them with me. 35 I exemplified all, how that thus laboring, you ought to support the frail, and to remember the words of Adonay Yah Shua, how he says, It is more blessed to give than to take.
