1 Timothy 6:18-19

6:18 Tell them to do good, ¹  to be rich in good deeds, to be generous givers, sharing with others. ²  6:19 In this way they will save up ³  a treasure for themselves as a firm foundation ⁴  for the future and so lay hold of ⁵  what is truly life.

² tn Grk “to be generous,” “sharing.”

³ tn Grk “saving up” (the continuation of 6:18). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 19.
