1 Timothy 6:13-19

English Standard Version

^13 (A)I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, ^(B)who in his testimony before^[a] Pontius Pilate made ^(C)the good confession, ¹⁴ to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until ^(D)the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ which he will display ^(E)at the proper time—he who is ^(F)the blessed and only Sovereign, ^(G)the King of kings and Lord of lords, ^16 (H)who alone has immortality, ^(I)who dwells in ^(J)unapproachable light, ^(K)whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.

¹⁷ As for the rich in ^(L)this present age, charge them ^(M)not to be haughty, nor ^(N)to set their hopes on ^(O)the uncertainty of riches, but on God, ^(P)who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. ¹⁸ They are to do good, ^(Q)to be rich in good works, to be generous and ^(R)ready to share, ¹⁹ thus ^(S)storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may ^(T)take hold of ^(U)that which is truly life.
