1 TIMOTHY 6:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.”
Thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life — the paradox: generosity constitutes thesaurizō (treasure-storing) that yields themelia (foundation) for the future. The verb perihaptō (take hold) recalls Christ's call (6:12); true zōē (life) results from liberality.
