Acts 20:35

In everything [by being an example that you can follow], I have shown you that by working hard in this way, you should help the weak (poor, sick). Remember the Lord Jesus' own words, which he said: 'It is more blessed (more joyful) to give than to receive.' "
[The last words from Paul to the church leadership in Ephesus are emotionally charged. But isn't it arrogant of Paul to constantly point to his own life and what he has done? The Christian life is not only about what you say, but also what you do, see James 2:14–26. Jesus condemned the Pharisees for not living as they taught, see Matt. 23:3. A true Christian leader must be able to say, "Do as I do in everything," if the message is to be credible. This quote from Jesus is not found in the Gospels, but it resembles the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, see Matt. 5:3–11. Only a fraction of everything Jesus said and did was written down, see John 21:25.]
