20:18-38 Paul’s address to the elders of the church of Ephesus is a testimony regarding his life and ministry in Ephesus, calling for similar dedication from the leaders who would carry on the ministry. The sermon highlights Paul’s integrity and pastoral care (20:18-21, 26, 31), speaks about the future (20:22-23, 25, 29-30), warns against false teachers (20:29-30), and exhorts the elders to be watchful and faithful (20:28, 31). Paul modeled sacrificial, conscientious, servant leadership.

¬the ˱to˲_the word ˱of˲_the grace ˱of˲_him
Paul is using the term word to mean the message about God’s grace that Jesus and his apostles shared by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to the message about his grace”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῷ λόγῳ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ
¬the ˱to˲_the word ˱of˲_the grace ˱of˲_him
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to the message about how God has graciously saved us”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις
the_‹ones› /having_been/_sanctified
