¹⁷ Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use; ¹⁸ And to do good, having wealth in good works, being quick to give, taking part with one another; ¹⁹ Making ready for themselves a safe place for the time to come, so that the true life may be theirs.

⁶ But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit: ⁷ For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out;

⁷ But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion: ⁸ For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.
