Acts 20:19, 23-24

serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews

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.
