- 1 Timothy 6:17 He addeth for an overplus as it were a sharp admonition to the rich, that they chiefly take heed of two mischiefs, to wit, of pride, and deceitful hope, against which he setteth three excellent virtues, hope in the living God, liberality towards their neighbor, and gentle conditions.
- 1 Timothy 6:17 In things pertaining to this life, with whom those men are compared which are rich in good works.
- 1 Timothy 6:17 Who only is, and that everlasting: for he setteth the frail nature of riches against God.
