1 Pablo, apóstol de Jesucristo por la voluntad de Dios, y el hermano Timoteo, a la iglesia de Dios que está en Corinto, con todos los santos que están en toda Acaya:
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
2 Gracia y paz a ustedes de parte de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Bendito sea el Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Padre de misericordias y Dios de todo consuelo.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
4 Él nos consuela en todas nuestras tribulaciones, para que también nosotros podamos consolar a los que están en cualquier tribulación, con el consuelo con que Dios nos consuela.
4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 Porque así como abundan en nosotros los sufrimientos de Cristo, también por medio de Cristo abunda nuestro consuelo.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
6 Si somos atribulados, es para consuelo y salvación de ustedes. Y si somos consolados, es para consuelo de ustedes, que obra en ustedes para soportar con paciencia los mismos sufrimientos que nosotros padecemos.
6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
7 Nuestra esperanza acerca de ustedes es firme, porque sabemos que, así como participan de los sufrimientos, también participarán del consuelo.
7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.
8 Hermanos, no queremos que ignoren la tribulación que tuvimos en Asia. Fuimos cargados más allá de nuestras fuerzas, de tal manera que aun perdimos la esperanza de conservar la vida.
8 For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
9 En verdad, sentimos en nosotros mismos la sentencia de muerte, para que no confiáramos en nosotros mismos, sino en Dios, que resucita a los muertos.
9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
10 Él nos libró de tan gran peligro de muerte, y nos librará. En él hemos puesto nuestra esperanza de que aún nos seguirá librando,
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,
11 mientras ustedes también nos ayudan con sus oraciones. Así muchos darán gracias por nosotros a causa del favor concedido a nosotros por medio de las oraciones de muchos.
11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.
12 Porque nuestra gloria es esta: el testimonio de nuestra conciencia, de que nos hemos conducido en el mundo, y especialmente con ustedes, con sencillez y sinceridad que vienen de Dios, no con sabiduría humana, sino por la gracia de Dios.
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
13 Porque no les escribimos otras cosas, sino las que ustedes pueden leer y entender. Y espero que las entiendan plenamente,
13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—
14 como también en parte nos han entendido: que nosotros somos motivo de gloria para ustedes, así como ustedes lo serán para nosotros en el día del Señor Jesús.
14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 Con esta confianza, quise ir primero a ustedes, para que recibieran una segunda bendición.
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
16 Quería pasar por ustedes camino a Macedonia, y luego volver desde Macedonia a ustedes, para que me ayudaran a seguir mi viaje a Judea.
16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
17 Entonces, al hacer este plan, ¿actué con ligereza? ¿O hago mis planes según la carne, diciendo al mismo tiempo: Sí, sí, y: No, no?
17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
18 Pero Dios es fiel: nuestra palabra a ustedes no fue sí y no al mismo tiempo.
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
19 Porque el Hijo de Dios, Jesucristo, a quien anunciamos entre ustedes Silvano, Timoteo y yo, no fue sí y no, sino que en él siempre ha sido sí.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”
20 Porque todas las promesas de Dios son sí en Cristo, y por medio de él decimos amén, para la gloria de Dios.
20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
21 Dios es quien nos confirma con ustedes en Cristo, y quien nos ungió.
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
22 Él también nos selló y nos dio el Espíritu en nuestros corazones como garantía de lo que ha de venir.
22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Pero llamo a Dios por testigo sobre mi alma: no fui todavía a Corinto para evitarles más tristeza.
23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I didn’t come to Corinth.
24 No es que tengamos dominio sobre su fe, sino que colaboramos con ustedes para su gozo, porque por la fe están firmes.
24 We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

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).
It is meet to enquire, first, why to the former Epistle he adds a second: and what can be his reason for thus beginning with the mercies and consolation of God. Why then does he add a second Epistle?

For it is no small fruit, O Lord my God, that by many thanks should be given to Thee on our behalf, and that by many Thou shouldest be entreated for us.

Wherefore Paul also said, "I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that we were pressed out of measure beyond strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life;" and after this again, "Who delivered us from so great deaths." Signifying therefore hereby, that they ought to be confident, though the waves rise high, and that He orders all things for good, …

Put off, by confession, the old man, which waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit, that ye may put on the new man, which is renewed according to knowledge of Him that created him. Get you the earnest of the Holy Spirit through faith, that ye may be able to be received into the everlasting habitations.

How then is it possible to conceive that the judgment is accomplished without the Holy Spirit, wherein the word points out that He is Himself the prize of the righteous, when instead of the earnest is given that which is perfect, and the first condemnation of sinners, when they are deprived of that which they seem to have?
