AmenG281.
17InstructG3853 thoseG3588 who are richG4145 in 38thisG3588 presentG3568 worldG165 39not to be conceitedG5309 orG3366 to 40setG1679 their hopeG1679 on the uncertaintyG83 of richesG4149, but on GodG2316, 41who richlyG4146 suppliesG3930 us with allG3956 thingsG3956 to enjoyG619. 18Instruct them to doG14 goodG14, to beG4147 richG4147 in 42goodG2570 43worksG2041, 44to be generousG2130 and readyG2843 toG2843 shareG2843, 1945storingG597 upG597 for themselvesG1438 the treasureG597 of a goodG2570 foundationG2310 for the futureG3195, soG2443 thatG2443 they may 46takeG1949 holdG1949 of that which is trulyG3689 lifeG2222.
