13. I command you, in the sight of God, who gives life to all things, and in the sight of Christ Jesus, who testified a good confession before Pontius Pilate,
14. to keep this commandment without blemish, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15. which He, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will reveal at the proper time.
16. He alone has immortality, living in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen, nor can see. To Him be honor and everlasting power. Amen.
17. Command those who are rich in this world that they not be conceited, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who richly gives us all things to enjoy.
18. Command that they do good, that they be rich in good works, generous, willing to share,
19. and laying up in store for themselves a good foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of eternal life.
20. O Timothy, guard that which is committed to your trust. Avoid profane babblings and opposing views from so-called knowledge.
21. By professing it, some have erred concerning the faith.Grace be with you. Amen.
