Exegesis
The infinitive diamarturasthai {διαμαρτύρασθαι | di-a-mar-týr-as-thai} is epexegetical, further defining the ministry as the solemn task “to testify” concerning the content expressed by the accusative object to euangelion tes charitos tou theou {τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς χάριτος τοῦ θεοῦ | tò eu-an-gé-li-on tês chá-ri-tos toû the-oû} “the gospel of the grace of God.” The sequence of infinitives after hos creates a compact purpose structure: Paul discounts his own life in order to finish his course and ministry, which in turn consists in bearing witness to this grace-centered gospel.
In context — Acts 20:24
But I do not consider my life precious to myself of any account, so that I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus , to testify to the gospel of the grace of God .
