17 Manda aos ricos desta era que não sejam soberbos, nem ponham a esperança na incerteza das riquezas, mas sim no Deus vivo, que nos dá abundantemente todas as coisas [que são] para alegria;

18 que façam o bem, sejam ricos em boas obras, dispostos a compartilhar, e generosos.

19 que acumulem para si mesmos um bom fundamento para o futuro, para que obtenham a vida eterna.

20 Timóteo, guarda o depósito que [te] foi confiado, evitando conversas vãs e profanas, e controvérsias do que é falsamente chamado de “conhecimento”;

21 que alguns declararam seguir, e se desviaram da fé. A graça [seja] contigo. Amém. [A primeira carta a Timóteo foi escrita de Laodiceia, que é a principal cidade da Frígia Pacaciana] .
