Paul addresses the elders from the church in Ephesus and reviews how he served the Lord humbly despite facing trials from Jews who plotted against him. He declares that he faithfully preached the gospel of repentance and faith in Jesus to both Jews and Greeks. Paul states that he is compelled by the Spirit to go to Jerusalem, knowing that imprisonment awaits him, but his focus is on finishing his mission of testifying to God's grace. He warns the elders to guard themselves and the flock from false teachers.
