Excerpt from A Valedictory Discourse, Preached to the First Church and Society in Deerfield, Mass: September 20, 1829 'Now, Brethren, I commend You to God, and to the Word of His Grace, Which is Able to Build You Up, And to Give You an Inheritance Among All Them Which are Sanctified.' Paul, in his apostolic course from east to west, had passed over a great part of Asia Minor and Greece, proclaiming the glad tidings of salvation in many of the chief cities, and among others in Ephesus, where he continued three years, and collected a numerous church. The solemn commission he had received, and the affectionate manner in which he had executed that commission, gave him a lively concern for the character and conduct of all his converts, and especially those to whom he had devoted most time and attention. He was taking, as he apprehended, his final leave of the Ephesian church, when he addressed to the elders the words of our text, intended, as I suppose, for the brethren generally: 'Now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.'
