Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:11-21
11 But you, man of God, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love,(A) endurance,(B) and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight(C) of the faith. Take hold of eternal life(D) to which you were called and about which you have made a good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 In the presence of God, who gives life to all,(E) and of Christ Jesus, who gave a good confession before Pontius Pilate,(F) I charge you 14 to keep this command without fault or failure until the appearing(G) of our Lord(H) Jesus Christ. 15 God will bring this about in his own time.(I) He is the blessed and only(J) Sovereign, the King of kings,(K) and the Lord of lords,(L) 16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light,(M) whom no one has seen or can see,(N) to him be honor and eternal power.(O) Amen.(P)
17 Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be arrogant(Q) or to set their hope on the uncertainty of wealth, but on God,[a] who richly provides us with all things(R) to enjoy. 18 Instruct them to do what is good, to be rich in good works,(S) to be generous and willing to share,(T) 19 storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the coming age,(U) so that they may take hold of what is truly life.
20 Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you,(V) avoiding(W) irreverent and empty speech and contradictions from what is falsely called knowledge.(X) 21 By professing it, some(Y) people have departed from the faith.(Z)
Grace be with you all.
