| 17 | Charge those who are rich in this present world, that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; | 1Ti 6:13 1Ti 1:3 1Ti 5:21 |
| 18 | that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; | 2Ch 24:16 Ps 37:3 Ec 3:12 Lk 6:33-35 Ac 10:38 Ga 6:10 Heb 13:16 1Pe 3:11 3Jn 1:11 |
| 19 | laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life. | Ps 17:14 Mt 6:19-21 Mt 10:41 Mt 10:42 Mt 19:21 Mt 25:34-40 Lk 12:33 Lk 16:9 Lk 18:2 Lk 18:22 Ga 6:8 Ga 6:9 |
| 20 | Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called; | 1Ti 6:11 2Ti 2:1 |
| 21 | which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen. | 1Ti 6:10 1Ti 1:6 1Ti 1:19 2Ti 2:18 Heb 10:1-12 |
