Acts 20:35

Context
20:35 By all these things, 1  I have shown you that by working in this way we must help 2  the weak, 3  and remember the words of the Lord Jesus that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” 4 

1 sn The expression By all these things means “In everything I did.”

2 tn Or “must assist.”

3 tn Or “the sick.” See Eph 4:28.

4 sn The saying is similar to Matt 10:8. Service and generosity should be abundant. Interestingly, these exact words are not found in the gospels. Paul must have known of this saying from some other source.
