1 Timoteo 6:13

13 Te encargo delante de Dios, quien da vida a todos, y delante de Cristo Jesús, quien dio un buen testimonio frente a Poncio Pilato,

1 Timoteo 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Timothy 6:13

I give thee charge in the sight of God
Who is omniscient and omnipotent:

who quickeneth all things;
all creatures, for all animate creatures have their life, motion, and bring in him; and who quickeneth all his people, at first conversion, when dead in sin, and afterwards when dull and lifeless; and who will quicken the dead at the last day. This seems to be mentioned to strengthen Timothy against the fears of death, that should he die in fighting the Lord's battles, he was able to raise him from the dead, and would do it.

And [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a
good confession;
or rather "under Pontius Pilate"; or, as the Arabic and Ethiopic versions render it, "in the time of Pontius Pilate"; for this may refer not only to the confession Christ made in his presence, at his examination by him, when he owned himself to be a King, declared the nature of his kingdom, and signified that the end of his incarnation was to bear a testimony to the truth; but it may also refer to the faithful, plain, and open witness Christ bore to truth throughout the whole of his ministry, under Pontius Pilate, by his doctrine and miracles, and at last by his sufferings and death, which he endured under him; and this is mentioned for Timothy's imitation, and to encourage him, and all other saints, to hold fast the profession of their faith to the end.

1 Timoteo 6:13 In-Context

11 Instrucciones finales de Pablo
Pero tú, Timoteo, eres un hombre de Dios; así que huye de todas esas maldades. Persigue la justicia y la vida sujeta a Dios, junto con la fe, el amor, la perseverancia y la amabilidad.

12 Pelea la buena batalla por la fe verdadera. Aférrate a la vida eterna a la que Dios te llamó y que confesaste tan bien delante de muchos testigos.

13 Te encargo delante de Dios, quien da vida a todos, y delante de Cristo Jesús, quien dio un buen testimonio frente a Poncio Pilato,

14 que obedezcas este mandamiento sin vacilar. Entonces nadie podrá encontrar ninguna falta en ti desde ahora y hasta que nuestro Señor Jesucristo regrese.

15 Pues, en el momento preciso, Cristo será revelado desde el cielo por el bendito y único Dios todopoderoso, el Rey de todos los reyes y el Señor de todos los señores.
