Acts 20:34

"Ye yourselves know that these hands ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me"These hands ministered unto necessities": Indicating that while Paul was in Ephesus he supported himself with his trade, as he had done in Corinth (Acts 18:3). "To them that were with me": Paul also helped provide for the needs of those traveling with him. Reese notes, "the thing Paul is warning against is the desire to be ministered to. That's the wrong motive" (p. 755) Too many people become. Christian primarily from the motive of "what this will do for me". Such people need to ask themselves, "What more do you want than eternal life?" What needs to motivate me is what can. now do so that others can find this wonderful salvation!
