1 Todos los que están bajo yugo como siervos consideren a sus amos dignos de toda honra, para que no sea blasfemado el nombre de Dios ni su enseñanza.
1 Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
2 Los que tienen amos creyentes no deben faltarles al respeto por ser hermanos. Al contrario, sírvanles mejor, porque los que reciben el beneficio son creyentes y amados. Enseña y exhorta estas cosas.
2 Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
3 Si alguno enseña otra doctrina y no se conforma a las sanas palabras de nuestro Señor Jesucristo y a la enseñanza que es conforme a la piedad,
3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
4 está lleno de orgullo y no sabe nada. Tiene una enfermedad por discusiones y pleitos de palabras, de donde nacen envidia, pleitos, insultos, malas sospechas
4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,
5 y disputas constantes entre personas de mente corrompida, privadas de la verdad, que piensan que la piedad es un medio para ganar dinero. Apártate de los tales.
5 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.
6 Pero gran ganancia es la piedad acompañada de contentamiento.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Porque nada trajimos a este mundo, y es claro que nada podremos sacar.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.
8 Así que, si tenemos comida y ropa, estemos contentos con eso.
8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9 Pero los que quieren enriquecerse caen en tentación, en trampa y en muchos deseos necios y dañinos, que hunden a los hombres en ruina y destrucción.
9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.
10 Porque el amor al dinero es raíz de toda clase de males. Por codiciarlo, algunos se apartaron de la fe y se causaron muchos dolores.
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 Pero tú, hombre de Dios, huye de estas cosas. Sigue la justicia, la piedad, la fe, el amor, la paciencia y la mansedumbre.
11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
12 Pelea la buena batalla de la fe. Echa mano de la vida eterna, a la cual fuiste llamado y de la cual hiciste buena confesión delante de muchos testigos.
12 Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
13 Te mando delante de Dios, quien da vida a todas las cosas, y de Cristo Jesús, quien dio buen testimonio delante de Poncio Pilato,
13 I command you before God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
14 que guardes este mandamiento sin mancha ni reproche hasta la manifestación de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 A su debido tiempo, Dios mostrará esta manifestación. Él es el bendito y único Soberano, Rey de reyes y Señor de señores.
15 which at the right time he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
16 Solo él tiene inmortalidad y habita en luz inaccesible. Ningún hombre lo ha visto ni lo puede ver. A él sea la honra y el poder eterno. Amén.
16 He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.
17 A los ricos de este mundo manda que no sean orgullosos ni pongan su esperanza en las riquezas inciertas, sino en el Dios vivo, que nos da todas las cosas en abundancia para que las disfrutemos.
17 Charge those who are rich in this present age that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy;
18 Mándales que hagan el bien, que sean ricos en buenas obras, generosos y dispuestos a compartir.
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;
19 Así estarán guardando para sí un buen fundamento para el futuro, para echar mano de la vida verdadera.
19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.
20 Timoteo, guarda lo que se te ha confiado. Apártate de las conversaciones profanas y vacías, y de los argumentos del falso conocimiento.
20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,
21 Algunos, al profesarlo, se desviaron de la fe. La gracia sea contigo. Amén.
21 which some profess, and thus have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
A teacher has need not only of authority, but of gentleness, and not only of gentleness, but of authority. And all these the blessed Paul teaches, at one time saying, "These things command and teach" (1 Tim. iv.

"But the love of money is the root of all evils." Knowing, therefore, that "as we brought nothing into the world, so we can carry nothing out," let us arm ourselves with the armour of righteousness; and let us teach, first of all, ourselves to walk in the commandments of the Lord.
For by deeds the better man appears, as I have already remarked; and, inasmuch as these men have no works of their father to adduce, the latter is shown to be God alone. But if any one, "doting about questions," do imagine that what the apostles have declared about God should be allegorized, let him consider my previous statements, in …
… us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life." They who were making such a use of their property have been consoled for light …

We draw nigh unto God, "who dwelleth in the light, which no man can approach unto." And we draw nigh unto Him for deliverance from hell, for remission of sins, for escape from those in tolerable punishments, for attaining to the Heavens, and to the good things that are there.
