1 Timothy 6:16-18
New English Translation

16 He alone possesses immortality and lives in unapproachable light, whom no human has ever seen or is able to see. To him be honor and eternal power! Amen.

17 Command those who are rich in this world’s goods[a] not to be haughty or to set their hope on riches, which are uncertain,[b] but on God who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment. 18 Tell them to do good,[c] to be rich in good deeds, to be generous givers, sharing with others.[d]
