Good reminder as we head into this season:
In all things(A) I have shown you that(B) by working hard in this way we must(C)(D) remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, help the weak and'It is more blessed(E) to give than to receive.' ~ Acts 20:35 (ESV)
I also like the way the paraphrase, "The Message" renders it:
I've never, as you so well know, had any taste for wealth or fashion. With these bare hands I took care of my own basic needs and those who worked with me. In everything I've done, I have demonstrated to you how necessary it is to work on behalf of the weak and not exploit them. You'll not likely go wrong here if you keep remembering that our Master said, 'You're far happier giving than getting.'"
