1 Timothy 6:19 in Context — 1 Timothy 6
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.
20 Oh Timoteo, guarda lo que se te ha encomendado, evitando las profanas pláticas de vanas cosas, y los argumentos de la falsamente llamada ciencia:
21 La cual profesando algunos, fueron descaminados acerca de la fe. La gracia sea contigo. Amén. La primera [epístola] á Timoteo fué escrita de Laodicea, que es metrópoli de la Frigia Pacatiana.
