1 Timothy 6:8 in Context — 1 Timothy 6

6 Empero grande granjería es la piedad con contentamiento.

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

8 Así que, teniendo sustento y con qué cubrirnos, seamos contentos con esto.

9 Porque los que quieren enriquecerse, caen en tentación y lazo, y en muchas codicias locas y dañosas, que hunden á los hombres en perdición y muerte.

10 Porque el amor del dinero es la raíz de todos los males: el cual codiciando algunos, se descaminaron de la fe, y fueron traspasados de muchos dolores.
