16. He is the only one who cannot die. He lives in light that no one can come near. No one has seen him, nor can they see him. Honor and power belong to him forever! Amen.
17. Tell those who have the riches of this world not to be arrogant and not to place their confidence in anything as uncertain as riches. Instead, they should place their confidence in God who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
18. Tell them to do good, to do a lot of good things, to be generous, and to share.
19. By doing this they store up a treasure for themselves which is a good foundation for the future. In this way they take hold of what life really is.
