16. who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
17. Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.
18. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,
19. storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.
20. O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called "knowledge"-
21. which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith. Grace be with you.
