Albert Barnes Commentary 1 Timothy 6:19

"laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is [life] indeed." — 1 Timothy 6:19 (ASV)

Laying up in store for themselves, etc. The meaning of this verse is, that they were to make such a use of their property that it would contribute to their eternal welfare. It might be the means of exalted happiness and honour in heaven, if they would so use it as not to interfere with religion in the soul, and so as to do the most good possible. See the sentiment in this verse explained at length (see Barnes on Luke 16:9).
