As for those who are rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything for enjoyment — Paul's charge (paraggellō) to the wealthy forbids two vices: hautainō (pride) and elpis (hope) anchored in the adēlotes (uncertainty) of wealth. Instead, theopropia (God's generosity) provides all things (panta) for enjoyment (apolausia).
