1 Timothy 4 13-1 Timothy 4 16
Till I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.Be diligent in these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest unto all.Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee.

Acts 20:19-31
serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews;how I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house,testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:save that the Holy Spirit testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.But I hold not my life of any account as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more.Wherefore I testify unto you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God.Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit hath made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he purchased with his own blood.I know that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock;and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.

Amen.
