1 Timothy 6:17 in Context — 1 Timothy 6
15 La cual á su tiempo mostrará el Bienaventurado y solo Poderoso, Rey de reyes, y Señor de señores;
16 Quien sólo tiene inmortalidad, que habita en luz inaccesible; á quien ninguno de los hombres ha visto ni puede ver: al cual [sea] la honra y el imperio sempiterno. Amén.
17 A los ricos de este siglo manda que no sean altivos, ni pongan la esperanza en la incertidumbre de las riquezas, sino en el Dios vivo, que nos da todas las cosas en abundancia de que gocemos:
18 Que hagan bien, que sean ricos en buenas obras, dadivosos, que con facilidad comuniquen;
19 Atesorando para sí buen fundamento para lo por venir, que echen mano á la vida eterna.
