(28) Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, (Not trying to be lords over their faith, [2 Cor 1:24] but encouraging them to learn directly from Christ from the Gospels: [Mat 23:1-15]) to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. (29) I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; (30) and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. (31) Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish everyone with tears.
