1 Timothy 6:14-21

14to keep all His precepts without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15which He will bring about in His own time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign [the absolute Ruler], the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords,

16He alone possesses immortality [absolute exemption from death] and lives in unapproachable light, whom no man has ever seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal power and dominion! Amen.

17As for the rich in this present world, instruct them not to be conceited and arrogant, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

18Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, willing to share [with others].

19In this way storing up for themselves the enduring riches of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

20O Timothy, guard and keep safe the deposit [of godly truth] entrusted to you, turn away from worldly and godless chatter [with its profane, empty words], and the contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge”—

21which some have professed and by doing so have erred (missed the mark) and strayed from the faith. Grace be with you.
