‏ 1 Timothy 6:17-19

17 Command those who are rich in this world’s goods ^{▼▼tn Grk “in the present age.”} not to be haughty or to set their hope on riches, which are uncertain, ^{▼▼tn Grk “in uncertainty.”} but on God who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment. 18 Tell them to do good, ^{▼▼tn Grk “to do good” (the continuation of 6:17). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 18.} to be rich in good deeds, to be generous givers, sharing with others. ^{▼▼tn Grk “to be generous,” “sharing.”} 19 In this way they will save up ^{▼▼tn Grk “saving up” (the continuation of 6:18). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 19.} a treasure for themselves as a firm foundation ^{▼▼tn Grk “treasuring up a good foundation.”} for the future and so lay hold of ^{▼▼tn Grk “that they may lay hold of.”} what is truly life.
