Regarding his own ministry, the apostle Paul could rightly say: “You well know how from the first day that I stepped into the district of Asia I was with you the whole time, slaving for the Lord..., while I did not hold back from telling you any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching you publicly and from house to house. ” ​ — Acts 20: 18 - 20.
