1 En cuanto al servicio para los santos, no es necesario que les escriba.
1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
2 Porque conozco la buena voluntad de ustedes, y me glorío de ella ante los macedonios, diciendo que Acaya está preparada desde el año pasado. El celo de ustedes ha animado a muchos.
2 for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to those of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for the past year. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.
3 Pero he enviado a los hermanos para que nuestra gloria acerca de ustedes no resulte vacía en este asunto, sino para que estén preparados, como he dicho.
3 But I have sent the brothers so that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,
4 No sea que, si algunos macedonios van conmigo y los encuentran sin preparar, nosotros quedemos avergonzados por esta confianza, por no decir ustedes.
4 lest by any means, if anyone from Macedonia comes there with me and finds you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) would be disappointed in this confident boasting.
5 Por eso me pareció necesario rogar a los hermanos que fueran antes a ustedes y prepararan de antemano el donativo prometido, para que esté listo como bendición, y no como algo dado por obligación.
5 I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness.
6 Pero digo esto: el que siembra poco, poco cosechará; y el que siembra con generosidad, con generosidad cosechará.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
7 Cada uno dé como propuso en su corazón, no con tristeza ni por obligación, porque Dios ama al dador alegre.
7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 Y poderoso es Dios para hacer que abunde en ustedes toda gracia, para que, teniendo siempre todo lo necesario en todas las cosas, abunden para toda buena obra.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.
9 Como está escrito: Repartió, dio a los pobres; su justicia permanece para siempre.
9 As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.”
10 El que da semilla al sembrador y pan para comer, también les dará y multiplicará su semilla, y aumentará los frutos de su justicia.
10 Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
11 Así ustedes serán enriquecidos en todo para toda generosidad, la cual produce acción de gracias a Dios por medio de nosotros.
11 you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.
12 Porque este servicio no solo suple las necesidades de los santos, sino que también abunda en muchas acciones de gracias a Dios.
12 For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through much giving of thanks to God,
13 Al ver la prueba de este servicio, ellos glorificarán a Dios por la obediencia con que ustedes confiesan el evangelio de Cristo, y por la generosidad de su contribución para ellos y para todos.
13 seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all,
14 También orarán por ustedes con mucho cariño, por la abundante gracia de Dios que está en ustedes.
14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
15 ¡Gracias a Dios por su regalo indescriptible!
15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

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).
Though he had said so much about it, he says here, "It is superfluous for me to write to you." And his wisdom is shown not only in this, that though he had said so much about it, he saith, "it is superfluous for me to write to you," but in that he yet again speaketh of it.

… to the end shall be saved." They grieve for sin, hearing that "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." They rejoice in good works, because they hear that "the Lord loveth a cheerful giver." In like manner, according as they are strong or weak, they fear or desire to …

Because then also, when things were desperate, there was a sort of deliverance and reformation; but then by punishment, now, on the contrary, by grace and an unspeakable gift. Therefore the dove also appears, not bearing an olive branch, but pointing out to us our Deliverer from all evils, and suggesting the gracious hopes.

Then, as to what He says, "From him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away," it is to be referred to the mind; for God loveth a cheerful giver. Moreover, every one who accepts anything borrows, even if he himself is not going to pay it; for inasmuch as God pays back more to the merciful, whosoever does …

"That, always having all sufficiency, we may abound unto every good work." See how they fulfill that word of the gospel which saith, "Give us this day our daily bread," and how they seek even this for spiritual ends.
