1 Timothy 6:11-19

New American Standard Bible

¹¹ But ^(A)flee from these things, you ^(B)man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, ^(C)faith, ^(D)love, ^[a]perseverance, and gentleness. ^12 (E)Fight the good fight of ^(F)faith; ^(G)take hold of the eternal life ^(H)to which you were called, and for which you made the good ^(I)confession in the presence of ^(J)many witnesses. ^13 (K)I direct you in the presence of God, who ^[b]gives life to all things, and of ^(L)Christ Jesus, who testified the ^(M)good confession ^(N)before Pontius Pilate, ¹⁴ that you keep the commandment without ^[c]fault or reproach until the ^(O)appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ which He will ^[d]bring about at ^(P)the proper time—He who is ^(Q)the blessed and ^(R)only Sovereign, ^(S)the King of ^[e]kings and ^(T)Lord of ^[f]lords, ^16 (U)who alone possesses immortality and ^(V)dwells in unapproachable light, ^(W)whom ^[g]no one has seen or can see. ^(X)To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

¹⁷ Instruct those who are rich in ^(Y)this present world ^(Z)not to be conceited or to ^(AA)set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, ^(AB)who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. ¹⁸ Instruct them to do good, to be rich in ^(AC)good ^[h]works, ^(AD)to be generous and ready to share, ^19 (AE)storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may ^(AF)take hold of that which is truly life.
