1 Timothy 6:5 in Context — 1 Timothy 6

3 Si alguno enseña otra cosa, y no asiente á sanas palabras de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y á la doctrina que es conforme á la piedad;

4 Es hinchado, nada sabe, y enloquece acerca de cuestiones y contiendas de palabras, de las cuales nacen envidias, pleitos, maledicencias, malas sospechas,

5 Porfías de hombres corruptos de entendimiento y privados de la verdad, que tienen la piedad por granjería: apártate de los tales.

6 Empero grande granjería es la piedad con contentamiento.

7 Porque nada hemos traído á este mundo, y sin duda nada podremos sacar.
