17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
17
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
18
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
