A Charge to the Rich

(Proverbs 23:1–5; James 5:1–6)

17 Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited [and] not to put their hope in [the] uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy. 18 [Instruct them] to do good, to be rich in good works, [and] to be generous [and] ready to share, 19 treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
