RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Por lo tanto, te doy este encargo solemne ante Dios y ante Jesucristo, que juzgará a los vivos y a los muertos cuando venga en su reino:
1 REQUIERO yo pues delante de Dios, y del Señor Jesucristo, que ha de juzgar á los vivos y los muertos en su manifestación y en su reino,
1 I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:
2 Con urgencia predica la palabra de Dios; hazlo sea o no sea oportuno; corrige, reprende y anima con mucha paciencia, sin dejar de enseñar.
2 Que prediques la palabra; que instes á tiempo y fuera de tiempo; redarguye, reprende, exhorta con toda paciencia y doctrina.
2 preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.
3 Llegará el momento en que la gente no querrá escuchar la sana enseñanza, sino que, guiada por sus propios deseos, se rodeará de maestros que le digan lo que desea oír.
3 Porque vendrá tiempo cuando no sufrirán la sana doctrina; antes, teniendo comezón de oir, se amontonarán maestros conforme á sus concupiscencias,
3 For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,
4 Estas personas, en vez de escuchar la verdad, se volverán a los mitos.
4 Y apartarán de la verdad el oído, y se volverán á las fábulas.
4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.
5 Por eso, tú mantente vigilante en todas las circunstancias, no temas sufrir, dedícate a la evangelización, cumple con los deberes de tu ministerio.
5 Pero tú vela en todo, soporta las aflicciones, haz la obra de evangelista, cumple tu ministerio.
5 But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
6 Yo, por mi parte, dentro de muy poco seré ofrecido en sacrificio y partiré a estar con el Señor.
6 Porque yo ya estoy para ser ofrecido, y el tiempo de mi partida está cercano.
6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
7 He peleado la buena batalla, he llegado al final de la carrera y me he mantenido fiel.
7 He peleado la buena batalla, he acabado la carrera, he guardado la fe.
7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
8 Por lo demás, me espera la corona de justicia que el Señor, juez justo, me dará en aquel gran día. Y no sólo a mí, sino a todos los que con amor esperan su venida.
8 Por lo demás, me está guardada la corona de justicia, la cual me dará el Señor, juez justo, en aquel día; y no sólo á mí, sino también á todos los que aman su venida.
8 From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
9 Haz todo lo que te sea posible para venir pronto a verme,
9 Procura venir presto á mí:
9 Be diligent to come to me soon,
10 porque Demas me abandonó por amor a las cosas de este mundo y se fue a Tesalónica. Crescente se fue a Galacia, y Tito a Dalmacia.
10 Porque Demas me ha desamparado, amando este siglo, y se ha ido á Tesalónica; Crescente á Galacia, Tito á Dalmacia.
10 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia.
11 Sólo Lucas está conmigo. Trae a Marcos cuando vengas, porque me ayudará en mi ministerio.
11 Lucas solo está conmigo. Toma á Marcos, y tráele contigo; porque me es útil para el ministerio.
11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
12 A Tíquico lo mandé a Éfeso.
12 A Tychîco envié á Efeso.
12 But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13 Cuando vengas, acuérdate de traerme la capa que dejé en Troas en casa de Carpo, y también los libros, especialmente los pergaminos.
13 Trae, cuando vinieres, el capote que dejé en Troas en casa de Carpo: y los libros, mayormente los pergaminos.
13 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Alejandro el herrero me ha hecho mucho daño. Que el Señor lo castigue.
14 Alejandro el calderero me ha causado muchos males: el Señor le pague conforme á sus hechos.
14 Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
15 Cuídate de él, pues se ha opuesto tenazmente a nuestra predicación.
15 Guárdate tú también de él; que en grande manera ha resistido á nuestras palabras.
15 Beware of him, for he greatly opposed our words.
16 La primera vez que comparecí ante el juez nadie me respaldó. Todos me desampararon. Que esto no se les tome en cuenta.
16 En mi primera defensa ninguno me ayudó, antes me desampararon todos: no les sea imputado.
16 At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
17 Pero el Señor estuvo a mi lado y me dio fuerzas para predicar el mensaje que todos oyeron. Dios me libró de la boca del león.
17 Mas el Señor me ayudó, y me esforzó para que por mí fuese cumplida la predicación, y todos los Gentiles oyesen; y fuí librado de la boca del león.
17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18 El Señor me librará de todo mal y me preservará para su reino celestial. A él sea la gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
18 Y el Señor me librará de toda obra mala, y me preservará para su reino celestial: al cual [sea] gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
19 Saluda en mi nombre a Priscila y a Aquila, y a los de la casa de Onesíforo.
19 Saluda á Prisca y á Aquila, y á la casa de Onesíforo.
19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
20 Erasto se quedó en Corinto, y a Trófimo lo dejé enfermo en Mileto.
20 Erasto se quedó en Corinto; y á Trófimo dejé en Mileto enfermo.
20 Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.
21 Trata de venir antes del invierno. Eubulo te manda saludos, así como Pudente, Lino, Claudia y los demás hermanos.
21 Procura venir antes del invierno. Eubulo te saluda, y Pudente, y Lino, y Claudia, y todos los hermanos.
21 Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
22 Que el Señor esté con tu espíritu. Que su amor sea con ustedes.
22 El Señor Jesucristo sea con tu espíritu. La gracia sea con vosotros. Amén. La segunda [epístola] á Timoteo, el cual fué el primer obispo ordenado en Efeso, fué escrita de Roma, cuando Pablo fué presentado la segunda vez á César Nerón.
22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

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).

  1. Commentary 4:9 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Second Timothy (Homily X)

    It is worth while to enquire why he calls Timothy to him, inasmuch as he was intrusted with a Church, and a whole nation. It was not from arrogance.

    … doth he grieve for certain trees, which did not afford him the fruit due unto him, when he saith, "At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge." For these fruits are due to those who minister spiritual doctrine, through their understanding of …
