Acts 20:18
King James Version
18 And when they were come to him,
he said unto them,
Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia,

at all seasons,
What was apostle Paul like?
How did he conduct himself?
How did he teach the WORD?
Nothing like getting it from the apostle himself:

to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

to draw away disciples after them.

A race he ran.
With flying colors.
Carrying GOD's banner.
Sharing the gospel of JESUS CHRIST.

I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith:

a crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous judge,
shall give me at that day:
and not to me only,
but unto all them also
that love his appearing.
