1 Timothy 6:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 [a]Charge them that are rich in [b]this world, that they be not high minded, and that they (A)trust not in uncertain riches, but in the [c]living God, (which giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy.)
18 That they do good, and be rich in good works, and be ready to distribute, and communicate,
19 (B)[d]Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may obtain eternal life.
