1 Timothy 6:14-21
14to obey this command without fault or failure until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ
15– whose appearing the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will reveal at the right time.
16He alone possesses immortality and lives in unapproachable light, whom no human has ever seen or is able to see. To him be honor and eternal power! Amen.
17Command those who are rich in this world’s goods not to be haughty or to set their hope on riches, which are uncertain, but on God who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment.
18Tell them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, to be generous givers, sharing with others.
19In this way they will save up a treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the future and so lay hold of what is truly life.
20O Timothy, protect what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the profane chatter and absurdities of so-called “knowledge.”
21By professing it, some have strayed from the faith. Grace be with you all.
