page 1095
9 But people who long to be rich fall into
temptation and are trapped by many foolish
and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin
and destruction. 10 For the love of money is the
root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith
and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

and only almighty God,
the King of all kings
and Lord of all lords.
1 T I M OT H Y 6:1 5
Paul’s Final Instructions
11 But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run
from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness
and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight
for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life
to which God has called you, which you have
declared so well before many witnesses. 13 And I
charge you before God, who gives life to all, and
before Christ Jesus, who gave a good testimony
before Pontius Pilate, 14 that you obey this command without wavering. Then no one can find
fault with you from now until our Lord Jesus
Christ comes again. 15 For,
At just the right time Christ will be revealed
from heaven by the blessed and only
almighty God, the King of all kings and Lord
of all lords. 16 He alone can never die, and he
lives in light so brilliant that no human can
approach him. No human eye has ever seen
him, nor ever will. All honor and power to
him forever! Amen.
17 Teach those who are rich in this world not
to be proud and not to trust in their money,
which is so unreliable. Their trust should be
in God, who richly gives us all we need for our
enjoyment. 18 Tell them to use their money to do
good. They should be rich in good works and
generous to those in need, always being ready
to share with others. 19 By doing this they will
be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience
true life.
20 Timothy, guard what God has entrusted to
you. Avoid godless, foolish discussions with
those who oppose you with their so-called
knowledge. 21 Some people have wandered from
the faith by following such foolishness.
May God’s grace be with you all.
