1 Timothy 6:15-17

6:15 – whose appearing ¹  the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will reveal at the right time. 6:16 He alone possesses immortality and lives in unapproachable light, whom no human has ever seen or is able to see. To him be honor and eternal power! Amen.

6:17 Command those who are rich in this world’s goods ²  not to be haughty or to set their hope on riches, which are uncertain, ³  but on God who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment.

[6:15]  ¹ tn Grk “which.” All of 1 Tim 6:15 is a relative clause which refers back to “appearing” in v.14. The phrase “whose appearing” was supplied to clarify this connection.

[6:17]  ² tn Grk “in the present age.”

[6:17]  ³ tn Grk “in uncertainty.”
