14 that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and without reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 For, as its appointed time, this will be brought about by the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone possesses immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, and whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be eternal honour and power! Amen. 17 Impress on those who are rich in the present age that they must not be haughty nor set their hopes on riches--that unstable foundation--but on God who provides us richly with all things for our enjoyment. 18 They must be beneficent, rich in noble deeds, open-handed and liberal; 19 storing up for themselves that which shall be a solid foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of the Life which is life indeed. 20 O Timothy, guard the truths entrusted to you, shunning irreligious and frivolous talk, and controversy with what is falsely called 'knowledge'; 21 of which some have spoken boastfully in connexion with the true faith, and have erred. Grace be with you all. 1 Timothy 6:14-21, Weymouth New Testament. Public domain.
