New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 As for those who in the present age are rich, command them not to be haughty or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches but rather on God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.(A) 18 They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share,(B) 19 thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life.

Common English Bible
Wealth of good works
17 Tell 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. 18 Tell them to do good, to be rich in the good things they do, to be generous, and to share with others. 19 When 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.
