13. I command you, in the sight of God who gives life to all things and Christ Jesus who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,
14. that you observe the commandment without fault, irreproachable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15. which he will make known in his own time, the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords,
16. the one who alone possesses immortality, who lives in unapproachable light, whom no human being has seen nor is able to see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.
17. Command those who are rich in this present age not to be proud and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in God, who provides us all things richly for enjoyment,
18. to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, sharing freely,
19. storing up for themselves a good foundation for the future, in order that they may take hold of what is truly life.
