1 Timothy 6:17-19

Common English Bible

Wealth of good works

¹⁷Tell people who are rich at this time not to become egotistical and not to place their hope on their finances, which are uncertain. Instead, they need to hope in God, who richly provides everything for our enjoyment. ¹⁸Tell them to do good, to be rich in the good things they do, to be generous, and to share with others. ¹⁹When they do these things, they will save a treasure for themselves that is a good foundation for the future. That way they can take hold of what is truly life.
