ACTS 20:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.”
'For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you all the counsel of God (to bouleuma, the purpose/plan of God)' — Comprehensive proclamation of God's salvific design absolves Paul of judgment's responsibility. He has fully disclosed the divine intention.
Church Fathers on Acts 20:27
For I have not shunned, he says, to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Acts 20:27 Why then, he who does not speak, has blood to answer for: that is, murder! Nothing could be more terrifying than this. He shows that they also, if they do it not, have blood to answer for. So, whereas he seems to be justifying himself, in fact he is terrifying them.
