1 Timothy 6:17-19

1 Timothy 6:17-19

[17] Charge  them that are rich  in  this  world,  not  highminded,  nor  trust  in  uncertain  riches,  but  in  God,  who  giveth  richly  all things  to  enjoy;  [18] That they do good,  that they be rich  in  good  works,  willing to communicate;  [19] Laying up in store  for themselves  a good  foundation  against  the time to come,  that  they may lay hold on  life. 

What does 1 Timothy 6:17-19 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Paul had not finished all he wanted to say about money, so he returned to that subject briefly with a word of instruction for the wealthy Ephesian believers. He gave these directions to balance what he had said earlier in this epistle (in 1 Timothy 6:9-11).
