1 Timothy 6:6-19
1. How should rich people behave?
godliness with contentment- people who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.
pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness- fight the good fight of the faith
not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain- to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share- in this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
1 John 3:16-18
2. What should they beware of?
If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
They should not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
