WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And concerning the collection that [is] for the holy ones, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also you—do;
1 CUANTO á la colecta para los santos, haced vosotros también de la manera que ordené en las iglesias de Galacia.
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.
2 on every first [day] of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made;
2 Cada primer día de la semana cada uno de vosotros aparte en su casa, guardando lo que por la bondad de Dios pudiere; para que cuando yo llegare, no se hagan entonces colectas.
2 On the first day of every week, let each one of you save as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come.
3 and whenever I may come, whomsoever you may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favor to Jerusalem;
3 Y cuando habré llegado, los que aprobareis por cartas, á éstos enviaré que lleven vuestro beneficio á Jerusalem.
3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
4 and if it be worthy for me also to go, with me they will go.
4 Y si fuere digno el negocio de que yo también vaya, irán conmigo.
4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
5 And I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia—for I pass through Macedonia—
5 Y á vosotros iré, cuando hubiere pasado por Macedonia, porque por Macedonia tengo de pasar:
5 I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.
6 and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that you may send me forward wherever I go,
6 Y podrá ser que me quede con vosotros, ó invernaré también, para que vosotros me llevéis á donde hubiere de ir.
6 But with you it may be that I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.
7 for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the LORD may permit;
7 Porque no os quiero ahora ver de paso; porque espero estar con vosotros algún tiempo, si el Señor lo permitiere.
7 For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
8 and I will remain in Ephesus until the Pentecost,
8 Empero estaré en Efeso hasta Pentecostés;
8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,
9 for a door has been opened to me—great and effectual—and withstanders [are] many.
9 Porque se me ha abierto puerta grande y eficaz, y muchos son los adversarios.
9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
10 And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for he works the work of the LORD, even as I,
10 Y si llegare Timoteo, mirad que esté con vosotros seguramente; porque la obra del Señor hace también como yo.
10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11 no one, then, may despise him; and send him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brothers;
11 Por tanto, nadie le tenga en poco; antes, llevadlo en paz, para que venga á mí: porque lo espero con los hermanos.
11 Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
12 and concerning Apollos our brother, I begged him much that he may come to you with the brothers, and it was not at all [his] will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.
12 Acerca del hermano Apolos, mucho le he rogado que fuese á vosotros con los hermanos; mas en ninguna manera tuvo voluntad de ir por ahora; pero irá cuando tuviere oportunidad.
12 Now concerning Apollos the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.
13 Watch, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;
13 Velad, estad firmes en la fe; portaos varonilmente, y esforzaos.
13 Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!
14 let all your things be done in love.
14 Todas vuestras cosas sean hechas con caridad.

15 And I beg you, brothers, you have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and they set themselves to the ministry to the holy ones—
15 Y os ruego, hermanos, (ya sabéis que la casa de Estéfanas es las primicias de Acaya, y que se han dedicado al ministerio de los santos,)
15 Now I beg you, brothers—you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints—
16 that you also be subject to such, and to everyone who is working with [us] and laboring;
16 Que vosotros os sujetéis á los tales, y á todos los que ayudan y trabajan.
16 that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
17 and I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because these filled up the lack of you;
17 Huélgome de la venida de Estéfanas y de Fortunato y de Achâico: porque éstos suplieron lo que á vosotros faltaba.
17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.

18 Porque recrearon mi espíritu y el vuestro: reconoced pues á los tales.
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

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).
Having completed his discourse concerning doctrines, and being about to enter upon that which belongs rather to morals, he dismisses every thing else and proceeds to the chief of good things, discoursing about alms. Nor does he discuss morals in general, but when he hath treated of this matter alone, he leaves off.

The kiss therefore is reconciliation, and for this reason holy: as the blessed Paul somewhere cried, saying, Greet ye one another with a holy kiss; and Peter, with a kiss of charity.
