Acts 20:32

And now, brethren, I commend … his grace The oldest authorities omit "brethren." I am to leave you, but I commend you to One who will help you as He has helped me, and who will not leave you. "The word of His grace" means the gracious promises of the Gospel, such as those which Christ gave to His disciples when He foretold the mission of the Comforter (John 17:7-12), and which the Christian preachers might repeat as His words to the converts who believed on His name.

which, &c. This must refer to God, and not to the intervening explanatory clause concerning the "word of God's grace." It is God who can build up His people, and give them their heavenly inheritance.

and to give you an inheritance The oldest texts give " the inheritance." The figure is taken from the apportionment of the promised land among the Israelites. The part of each of God's servants in the heavenly Canaan is to be regarded as definitely as were the possessions of the chosen people in the earthly Canaan.

among … sanctified The tense is literally "that have been sanctified." But just as the Apostle uses "saints" frequently in his Epistles to mean those who have been called to be such, so here his words do not indicate that those of whom he speaks have attained the perfection of holiness. When they reach their inheritance, then they will have been perfected in Christ.
