Acts 20:33-35

JMNT(i) 33 "I did not covet, have an over-desire for, or set my heart upon silver or gold or clothing which belongs to even one person. 34 "You yourselves continue knowing by personal experience that these very hands subserved to my needs, as well as [giving service] to those being with me. 35 "I demonstrated under your observation, giving you an object lesson for all situations and for all people, that by thus laboring it continues binding and necessary to habitually take things in hand so as to assist in the stead of the weak and infirm folks, besides to be constantly bearing in mind through remembrance the words (thoughts; ideas; messages) of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is a happy and blessed [state and situation] to be habitually giving, rather than to be continually receiving!'"
