5 porque nuestro mensaje de Buenas Noticias no llegó a ustedes solo con palabra, sino también con poder, con Espíritu Santo y con gran certidumbre. Saben cómo nos manifestamos a ustedes por amor.
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 recibieron la Palabra con mucha aflicción. Fueron imitadores de nosotros y del Señor con gozo del Espíritu Santo,

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).
