PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Pero el Espíritu dice claramente que en los últimos tiempos algunos se apartarán de la fe, siguiendo a espíritus engañadores y enseñanzas de demonios.
1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
1 Τὸ δὲ Πνεῦμα ῥητῶς λέγει ὅτι ἐν ὑστέροις καιροῖς ἀποστήσονταί τινες τῆς πίστεως, προσέχοντες πνεύμασι πλάνοις καὶ διδασκαλίαις δαιμονίων,
2 Harán esto por la hipocresía de mentirosos, cuya conciencia está marcada como con hierro caliente.
2 through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,
2 ἐν ὑποκρίσει ψευδολόγων, κεκαυστηριασμένων τὴν ἰδίαν συνείδησιν,
3 Estos prohibirán casarse y mandarán abstenerse de alimentos que Dios creó para que los creyentes, los que conocen la verdad, los reciban con acción de gracias.
3 forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
3 κωλυόντων γαμεῖν, ἀπέχεσθαι βρωμάτων ἃ ὁ Θεὸς ἔκτισεν εἰς μετάληψιν μετὰ εὐχαριστίας τοῖς πιστοῖς καὶ ἐπεγνωκόσι τὴν ἀλήθειαν.
4 Porque todo lo que Dios creó es bueno, y nada debe ser rechazado si se recibe con acción de gracias,
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
4 ὅτι πᾶν κτίσμα Θεοῦ καλόν, καὶ οὐδὲν ἀπόβλητον μετὰ εὐχαριστίας λαμβανόμενον·
5 porque es santificado por la palabra de Dios y por la oración.
5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
5 ἁγιάζεται γὰρ διὰ λόγου Θεοῦ καὶ ἐντεύξεως.
6 Si enseñas estas cosas a los hermanos, serás buen servidor de Jesucristo, alimentado con las palabras de la fe y de la buena doctrina que has seguido.
6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
6 Ταῦτα ὑποτιθέμενος τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς καλὸς ἔσῃ διάκονος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἐντρεφόμενος τοῖς λόγοις τῆς πίστεως καὶ τῆς καλῆς διδασκαλίας ᾗ παρηκολούθηκας.
7 Pero rechaza los mitos profanos y cuentos de viejas. Más bien, entrénate para la piedad.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.
7 τοὺς δὲ βεβήλους καὶ γραώδεις μύθους παραιτοῦ, γύμναζε δὲ σεαυτὸν πρὸς εὐσέβειαν·
8 Porque el ejercicio físico aprovecha un poco, pero la piedad aprovecha para todo, pues tiene promesa para la vida presente y para la venidera.
8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.
8 ἡ γὰρ σωματικὴ γυμνασία πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶν ὠφέλιμος, ἡ δὲ εὐσέβεια πρὸς πάντα ὠφέλιμός ἐστιν, ἐπαγγελίας ἔχουσα ζωῆς τῆς νῦν καὶ τῆς μελλούσης.
9 Fiel es esta palabra, y digna de ser recibida por todos.
9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
9 πιστὸς ὁ λόγος καὶ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος·
10 Por esto trabajamos y luchamos, porque hemos puesto nuestra esperanza en el Dios vivo, que es Salvador de todos los hombres, especialmente de los creyentes.
10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
10 εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ κοπιῶμεν καὶ ὀνειδιζόμεθα, ὅτι ἠλπίκαμεν ἐπὶ Θεῷ ζῶντι, ὅς ἐστι σωτὴρ πάντων ἀνθρώπων, μάλιστα πιστῶν.
12 Que nadie te menosprecie por ser joven. Más bien, sé ejemplo para los creyentes en palabra, conducta, amor, espíritu, fe y pureza.
12 Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.
12 μηδείς σου τῆς νεότητος καταφρονείτω, ἀλλὰ τύπος γίνου τῶν πιστῶν ἐν λόγῳ, ἐν ἀναστροφῇ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ, ἐν πνεύματι, ἐν πίστει, ἐν ἁγνείᾳ.
13 Mientras voy, dedícate a la lectura pública de las Escrituras, a la exhortación y a la enseñanza.
13 Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
13 ἕως ἔρχομαι πρόσεχε τῇ ἀναγνώσει, τῇ παρακλήσει, τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ.
14 No descuides el don que hay en ti, que te fue dado por profecía cuando el grupo de ancianos te impuso las manos.
14 Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
14 μὴ ἀμέλει τοῦ ἐν σοὶ χαρίσματος, ὃ ἐδόθη σοι διὰ προφητείας μετὰ ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν τοῦ πρεσβυτερίου.
15 Ocúpate en estas cosas; entrégate por completo a ellas, para que todos vean tu progreso.
15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
15 ταῦτα μελέτα, ἐν τούτοις ἴσθι, ἵνα σου ἡ προκοπὴ φανερὰ ᾖ ἐν πᾶσιν.
16 Ten cuidado de ti mismo y de la enseñanza. Persevera en estas cosas, porque al hacerlo te salvarás a ti mismo y también a los que te escuchan.
16 Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
16 ἔπεχε σεαυτῷ καὶ τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ, ἐπίμενε αὐτοῖς· τοῦτο γὰρ ποιῶν καὶ σεαυτὸν σώσεις καὶ τοὺς ἀκούοντάς σου.

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).
As those who adhere to the faith are fixed on a safe anchor, so those who fall from the faith can nowhere rest; but after many wanderings to and fro, they are borne at last into the very gulf of perdition.

Thou hast taught me, good Father, that "unto the pure all things are pure;" but "it is evil for that man who eateth with offence;" "and that every creature of Thine is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with, thanksgiving;" and that "meat commendeth us not to God;" and that no man should "judge us in …

… neither condemn the men as sinners, nor abhor the flesh as strange food; for the Apostle knows some of this sort, when he says: forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe.

And that the Holy Ghost subsists, and lives, and speaks, and foretells, I have often said in what goes before, and Paul writes it plainly to Timothy: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in later times some shall depart from the faith,--which we see in the divisions not only of former times but also of our own; so motley …
