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.
