PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Como colaboradores de Dios les suplicamos que no desechen su amor.
1 Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain.
1 Συνεργοῦντες δὲ καὶ παρακαλοῦμεν μὴ εἰς κενὸν τὴν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ δέξασθαι ὑμᾶς —
2 Porque Dios dice: «Escuché tu clamor en tiempo favorable, y en día de salvación te socorrí». Ahora mismo es el tiempo favorable de Dios; hoy es el día de la salvación.
2 For he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
2 λέγει γάρ· καιρῷ δεκτῷ ἐπήκουσά σου καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σωτηρίας ἐβοήθησά σοι· ἰδοὺ νῦν καιρὸς εὐπρόσδεκτος, ἰδοὺ νῦν ἡμέρα σωτηρίας —
3 Nosotros nos comportamos siempre de tal manera que nadie se escandalice, ni critique nuestro servicio.
3 We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,
3 μηδεμίαν ἐν μηδενὶ διδόντες προσκοπήν, ἵνα μὴ μωμηθῇ ἡ διακονία,
4 Más bien, en cada uno de nuestros actos tratamos de portarnos como servidores de Dios. Con paciencia soportamos los sufrimientos, las necesidades, las angustias.
4 but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,
4 ἀλλ᾽ ἐν παντὶ συνιστῶντες ἑαυτοὺς ὡς Θεοῦ διάκονοι, ἐν ὑπομονῇ πολλῇ, ἐν θλίψεσιν, ἐν ἀνάγκαις, ἐν στενοχωρίαις,
5 Nos han azotado, encarcelado y nos hemos enfrentado a airadas multitudes; hemos trabajado hasta el agotamiento, hemos pasado noches en vela y sin comer.
5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,
5 ἐν πληγαῖς, ἐν φυλακαῖς, ἐν ἀκαταστασίαις, ἐν κόποις, ἐν ἀγρυπνίαις, ἐν νηστείαις,
6 Con la integridad de nuestras vidas, con nuestro entendimiento del evangelio y con nuestra paciencia y bondad hemos hecho nuestro servicio. El Espíritu Santo vive en nosotros y amamos con sinceridad.
6 in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,
6 ἐν ἁγνότητι, ἐν γνώσει, ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ, ἐν χρηστότητι, ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἀνυποκρίτῳ,
7 Hemos sido veraces gracias al poder de Dios. Nuestra arma para atacar y defendernos ha sido la justicia.
7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
7 ἐν λόγῳ ἀληθείας, ἐν δυνάμει Θεοῦ, διὰ τῶν ὅπλων τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῶν δεξιῶν καὶ ἀριστερῶν,
8 Unas veces nos honran y otras nos desprecian; unas veces nos critican y otras veces nos ensalzan; unas veces nos tienen por mentirosos, aunque decimos la verdad.
8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true,
8 διὰ δόξης καὶ ἀτιμίας, διὰ δυσφημίας καὶ εὐφημίας, ὡς πλάνοι καὶ ἀληθεῖς,
9 Aunque todo el mundo nos conoce, nos tratan como a desconocidos; arriesgamos la vida, pero estamos vivos; nos han golpeado, pero sobrevivimos.
9 as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed,
9 ὡς ἀγνοούμενοι καὶ ἐπιγινωσκόμενοι, ὡς ἀποθνήσκοντες καὶ ἰδοὺ ζῶμεν, ὡς παιδευόμενοι καὶ μὴ θανατούμενοι,
10 Tenemos el corazón adolorido, pero a la vez no nos falta el gozo. Parecemos pobres, pero enriquecemos a muchos; no tenemos nada, y, sin embargo, somos dueños de todo.
10 as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
10 ὡς λυπούμενοι ἀεὶ δὲ χαίροντες, ὡς πτωχοὶ πολλοὺς δὲ πλουτίζοντες, ὡς μηδὲν ἔχοντες καὶ πάντα κατέχοντες.
11 Queridos hermanos corintios, les hemos hablado con entera franqueza; les hemos abierto nuestro corazón.
11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
11 Τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν ἀνέῳγε πρὸς ὑμᾶς, Κορίνθιοι, ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν πεπλάτυνται·
12 Nosotros les amamos mucho, pero ustedes nos niegan su amor.
12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.
12 οὐ στενοχωρεῖσθε ἐν ἡμῖν, στενοχωρεῖσθε δὲ ἐν τοῖς σπλάγχνοις ὑμῶν·
13 Les estoy hablando ahora como si fueran mis propios hijos. ¡Correspondan al amor que les ofrezco!
13 Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.
13 τὴν δὲ αὐτὴν ἀντιμισθίαν, ὡς τέκνοις λέγω, πλατύνθητε καὶ ὑμεῖς.
14 No se unan en matrimonio con los que no creen en el Señor, porque ¿qué pueden tener en común la justicia con la maldad? ¿Cómo puede la luz llevarse bien con la oscuridad?
14 Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
14 Μὴ γίνεσθε ἑτεροζυγοῦντες ἀπίστοις· τίς γὰρ μετοχὴ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀνομίᾳ; τίς δὲ κοινωνία φωτὶ πρὸς σκότος;
15 Y ¿qué armonía puede haber entre Cristo y el diablo? ¿Cómo puede un creyente estar de acuerdo con un incrédulo?
15 What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?
15 τίς δὲ συμφώνησις Χριστῷ πρὸς Βελίαλ; ἢ τίς μερὶς πιστῷ μετὰ ἀπίστου;
16 Y ¿qué unión puede existir entre el templo de Dios y los ídolos? Porque nosotros somos el templo del Dios viviente. Como el Señor dijo: «Viviré con ellos y caminaré entre ellos, y seré su Dios y ellos serán mi pueblo».
16 What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”
16 τίς δὲ συγκατάθεσις ναῷ Θεοῦ μετὰ εἰδώλων; ὑμεῖς γὰρ ναὸς Θεοῦ ἐστε ζῶντος, καθὼς εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς ὅτι ἐνοικήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσω, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτῶν Θεός, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί μοι λαός.
17 Por eso el Señor añade: «Salgan de en medio de ellos, apártense; no toquen sus inmundicias, y yo los recibiré
17 Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.
17 διὸ ἐξέλθατε ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν καὶ ἀφορίσθητε, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ἀκαθάρτου μὴ ἅπτεσθε, κἀγὼ εἰσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς,
18 y seré un Padre para ustedes, y ustedes serán mis hijos y mis hijas, dice el Señor Todopoderoso».
18 I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”
18 καὶ ἔσομαι ὑμῖν εἰς πατέρα, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ.

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).
For since he said, God beseeches, and we are ambassadors and suppliants unto you, that ye be "reconciled unto God:" lest they should become supine, he hereby again alarms and arouses them, saying: "We intreat that ye receive not the grace of God in vain." For let us not,' he says, therefore be at ease, because He beseeches and hath …

… or how wide it spreads, than he that measures it and counts all its branches, and neither owns it nor knows or loves its Creator; so a just man, whose is the entire world of wealth, and who, as having nothing, yet possesseth all things by cleaving unto Thee, to whom all things are subservient, though he know not even …

or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" And while the children of heathens, who know nothing of resurrection, do yet find words of consolation, saying, "Bear it manfully, for it is not possible to undo what hath taken place, nor to amend it by lamentations;" art not thou, who hearest sayings wiser and better than these, ashamed …

The present is the season of confession: confess what thou hast done in word or in deed, by night or by day; confess in an acceptable time, and in the day of salvation receive the heavenly treasure.

… through communion with Himself to incorruption), and when moreover, through the transgression of the command we had confused and obliterated the marks of the divine image, and had become evil, we were stripped of our communion with God (for what communion hath light with darkness?): and having been shut out from life we became subject to the corruption of …
