Paul's Farewell to the Ephesian Elders
Paul's farewell at Miletus measures a faithful ministry by wholehearted declaration, humble endurance and freedom from greed, not by safety or results. Unable to protect the elders further, he entrusts them to God and to the word of his grace.

Paul did not merely tell the Ephesian elders to be generous; he showed them a working life aimed at helping the weak. The blessing he names comes from Jesus himself, who called giving more blessed than receiving.
