Acts 20:35

"In all things. gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive"In all things. gave you an example": This is. great ethic to live by, in whatever we do. be an example. "Laboring": This means to feel fatigue, to work hard, to be wearied, indicating that the Christian life is not for the selfish or the lazy. Serving God properly will involve hard work. "Help the weak": Paul was presently engaged in doing that very thing, for he was taking an offering for the poor saints that were in Jerusalem. This is another verse that reminds us, we are our brother's keeper (Galatians 6:1). "Remember the words of the Lord Jesus": Paul quotes something that Jesus said, which is not recorded in the Gospels. The command to "remember" indicates that this expression was well known among Christians, and it indicates that in the absence of. completed New Testament (at this time), many of the sayings of Jesus were widely known.
