14 that thou observe this injunction spotless, irreproachable, unto the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 which in his own appointed times he will shew forth, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 who alone possesseth immortality, inhabiting light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and glory eternal. Amen. 17 Charge the rich in this world not to be lifted up with pride, nor to trust on the stability of wealth, but on the living God, who giveth us richly all things for our enjoyment; 18 to do good, to be rich in generous actions, to take pleasure in liberality, ready to distribute; 19 laying up treasure for themselves a noble foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 20 O Timothy, guard the sacred deposit, avoiding profane trifling talk, and antitheses of misnamed science: 21 which some affecting have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee.?Amen. The first epistle was written from Laodicea, which is the metropolis of Phrygia Pacatiana. 1 Timothy 6:14-21, Haweis New Testament. Public domain.
