Final Charge to Timothy

¹¹ But you, man of God,^(A) flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness,^(B) faith, love,^(C) endurance and gentleness. ¹² Fight the good fight^(D) of the faith. Take hold of^(E) the eternal life^(F) to which you were called when you made your good confession^(G) in the presence of many witnesses. ¹³ In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate^(H) made the good confession,^(I) I charge you^{(J) 14} to keep this command without spot or blame^(K) until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,^{(L) 15} which God will bring about in his own time^(M)—God, the blessed^(N) and only Ruler,^(O) the King of kings and Lord of lords,^{(P) 16} who alone is immortal^(Q) and who lives in unapproachable light,^(R) whom no one has seen or can see.^(S) To him be honor and might forever. Amen.^(T)

¹⁷ Command those who are rich^(U) in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth,^(V) which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God,^(W) who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.^{(X) 18} Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds,^(Y) and to be generous and willing to share.^{(Z) 19} In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves^(AA) as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of^(AB) the life that is truly life.
