4 Hermanos amados de Dios, sabemos que él los ha escogido.
4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,
5 Esto lo sabemos porque cuando les anunciamos el evangelio, les llegó no sólo con palabras sino también con el poder del Espíritu Santo y con una gran seguridad. Ustedes saben que cuando estuvimos entre ustedes buscamos sólo su bien.
5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.
6 Ustedes siguieron nuestro ejemplo y el del Señor, cuando, a pesar de todo el sufrimiento, recibieron el mensaje con la alegría que da el Espíritu Santo.

8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not say anything.
9 pues todos cuentan lo bien que ustedes nos recibieron y cómo dejaron los ídolos para servir al Dios vivo y verdadero.
9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

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).
