Bible verse
Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share,
1 Timothy 6:18 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Timothy 6.
14 Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 which the blessed and only Sovereign One—the King of kings and Lord of lords—will bring about in His own time.
16 He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light. No one has ever seen Him, nor can anyone see Him. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
17 Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy.
18 Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share,
19 treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
20 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid irreverent, empty chatter and the opposing arguments of so-called “knowledge,”
21 which some have professed and thus swerved away from the faith. Grace be with you all.
