ACTS 20:35 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
'In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: It is more blessed to give than to receive' — The logia Kyriou (saying of the Lord) appears only here in Acts; its authenticity and source remain textually disputed, yet it crystallizes Christian ethos: generative giving supersedes acquisitive receiving. Labor sanctifies not merely survival but sacrificial care.
