1 Timoteo 6:5

5 Individuos como estos siempre causan problemas. Tienen la mente corrompida y le han dado la espalda a la verdad. Para ellos, mostrar sumisión a Dios es solo un medio para enriquecerse.

1 Timoteo 6:5 Meaning and Commentary

1 Timothy 6:5

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds
Who being corrupt in their principles, and corrupters of the word of God, dispute in a very froward and perverse way, rubbing and galling one another, and so provoke, to wrath and anger, and, every evil work:

and destitute of the truth
of Christ, who is the truth, knowing nothing of him spiritually and savingly; and of the Gospel, the word of truth; and also of the truth of grace, being carnal, sensual, and having not the Spirit of God.

Supposing that gain is godliness;
such were Simon Magus and his followers, and other false teachers, who made merchandise of men, looked everyone for his gain from his quarter, and acted as if there was nothing in religion but worldly profit and gain; these served themselves, their own bellies, and selfish interests, and not the Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore the apostle gives the following advice to Timothy, and through him to all ministers and churches,

from such withdraw thyself:
do not come near them; have nothing to do with them; do not lay hands on them, or admit them into the ministry; do not suffer them to preach, or encourage them by hearing them: if in the church, cast them out; have communion with them, neither in a civil nor in a religious way; avoid all conversation with them. The Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions omit this clause; it is wanting in the Alexandrian copy, and in Beza's Claromontane Exemplar, but is in other copies.

1 Timoteo 6:5 In-Context

3 Puede ser que algunas personas nos contradigan, pero lo que enseñamos es la sana enseñanza de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, la cual conduce a una vida de sumisión a Dios.

4 Cualquiera que enseñe algo diferente es arrogante y le falta entendimiento. Tal persona tiene el deseo enfermizo de cuestionar el significado de cada palabra. Esto provoca discusiones que terminan en celos, divisiones, calumnias y malas sospechas.

5 Individuos como estos siempre causan problemas. Tienen la mente corrompida y le han dado la espalda a la verdad. Para ellos, mostrar sumisión a Dios es solo un medio para enriquecerse.

6 Ahora bien, la verdadera sumisión a Dios es una gran riqueza en sí misma cuando uno está contento con lo que tiene.

7 Después de todo, no trajimos nada cuando vinimos a este mundo ni tampoco podremos llevarnos nada cuando lo dejemos.
