1 Timothy 6:18

Verse 18

Men as they grow rich should increase their benefactions faster than they increase their personal expenses.

Rich in good works A double richness. The possessor has all the happiness of wealth, and the infinitely higher happiness of living in the benefactions he bestows.

Distribute To adjust the donation to the various proper objects.

To communicate To share with others the blessings that belong to you.
