The Rich Are Not Told to Stop Being Rich — They Are Told to Stop Being Dead, 1 Timothy 6:17-19
Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life., Paul's final charge to wealthy believers demolishes both prosperity theology and poverty theology in three verses.
