1 Timothy 6:9 in Context — 1 Timothy 6
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.
11 Mas tú, oh hombre de Dios, huye de estas cosas, y sigue la justicia, la piedad, la fe, la caridad, la paciencia, la mansedumbre.
