17 Command those who are Rich in this Present World
Not to be Arrogant nor to put their Hope in Wealth,
Which is so Uncertain,
Who Richly Provides us with Everything for our Enjoyment.
18 Command them to Do Good,
To be Rich in Good Deeds,
And to be Generous and Willing to Share.
19 In this way they will Lay Up Treasurer for themselves
As a Sure Foundation for the Coming Age,
So that they may Take Hold of the Life that is Truly Life.
20 Timothy, Guard what has been Entrusted to your Care.
Turn Away from Godless Chatter
And the Opposing Ideas
Of what is Falsely Called Knowledge,
21 Which some have Professed
And in So Doing have Departed from the Faith.
Grace be with you All.
(1 Timothy 6:17-21, NIV)
