提摩太前书6:17-19
17你要嘱咐那些今世富足的人,不要自高,也不要倚靠无定的钱财。只要倚靠那厚赐百物给我们享受的神。18又要嘱咐他们行善,在好事上富足,甘心施舍,乐意供给人,(供给或作体贴)19为自己积成美好的根基,预备将来,叫他们持定那真正的生命。
17Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 18Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. 19By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.
