Instructions to the Rich

17 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain ariches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things bto enjoy.  
18 Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share,
19 astoring up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.  

Guard the Faith

20 O Timothy! aGuard what was committed to your trust, bavoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—  
21 by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

1 Timothy 6:18

That they do good - That they relieve the wants of their fellow creatures, according to the abundance which God has given them. The highest luxury a human being can enjoy on this side of the grave.

Rich in good works - That their good works may be as abundant as their riches.

Ready to distribute - · That they give nothing through partiality or favor, but be guided in their distribution by the necessities of the objects presented to them; and that they confine not their charity at home, but scatter it abroad.

Willing to communicate - · Bringing every poor person into a state of fellowship with themselves.
