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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< 1 Timothy 6:18

1 Timothy 6:20 >>

Treasuring up for themselves a good foundation - Of an abundant reward, by the free mercy of God. That they may lay hold on eternal life - This cannot be done by alms - deeds; yet they "come up for a memorial before God," Acts 10:4. And the lack even of this may be the cause why God will withhold grace and salvation from us.
