ACTS 20:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.”
'However, I consider my life worth nothing to me if only I may finish the race and complete the task (ergon, work) the Lord Jesus has given me — the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace' — Paul's valuation of life (psuche) as worthless compared to completing the apostolic mission (ergon) reveals missionary prioritization: completion of the gospel's proclamation supersedes survival.
