1 Porque ustedes mismos saben, hermanos, que nuestra visita a ustedes no fue en vano, 2 pues supieron que después de sufrir y ser maltratados en Filipos, [confiados] en nuestro Dios, tuvimos el valor de proclamarles las Buenas Noticias en medio de gran lucha. 3 Así que nuestra exhortación no fue errada, impura o engañosa, 4 sino por la aprobación de Dios, Quien nos confió las Buenas Noticias. Así hablamos, no como los que agradan a [los] hombres, sino a Dios, Quien prueba nuestros corazones. 5 Como saben, no hablamos con palabras halagadoras, ni con deseo de lucrar. Dios es Testigo. 6 Ni buscamos honor de [los] hombres, ni de ustedes ni de otros. 7 Aunque podríamos insistir en nuestra importancia como apóstoles de Cristo, más bien fuimos en medio de ustedes como una madre de crianza que acaricia a sus propios hijos. 8 De este modo, al tener un profundo afecto por ustedes, nos sentimos complacidos por impartirles las Buenas Noticias de Dios y también nuestras propias vidas, porque llegaron a sernos muy amados. 9 Hermanos, recuerden nuestra fatiga y arduo trabajo al ocuparnos de noche y de día para no ser carga a ninguno de ustedes. Así les proclamamos las Buenas Noticias de Dios. 10 Ustedes y Dios son testigos de nuestra conducta santa, justa e intachable con ustedes los que creen. 11 También saben de qué modo tratamos a cada uno de ustedes, como un padre a sus hijos, 12 al exhortarlos, animarlos y rogarles que tuvieran una conducta digna del Dios que los llama a su mismo reino y gloria. 13 Por esto también nosotros damos gracias a Dios incesantemente, porque cuando oyeron de nosotros [la] Palabra de [la ]predicación de Dios, [la] recibieron, no [como] palabra de hombres, sino como lo que verdaderamente es, Palabra de Dios, la cual obra en ustedes los que creen. 14 Hermanos, ustedes fueron imitadores de las iglesias de Dios en Cristo Jesús de Judea. Porque también ustedes padecieron las mismas cosas por medio de sus propios compatriotas, como ellos de los judíos. 15 De igual manera, éstos, después de matar al Señor Jesús y a los profetas, de perseguirnos severamente y de no agradar a Dios, son hostiles a todos los hombres. 16 Nos prohíben hablar a los gentiles para que sean salvos, a fin de llenar siempre la medida de sus pecados. Pero la máxima ira llegó sobre ellos. 17 Nosotros, hermanos, al estar separados de ustedes por breve tiempo, de presencia, no de corazón, deseábamos ardientemente ver su rostro. 18 Porque ciertamente quisimos ir a ustedes, yo, Pablo, más de una vez, pero Satanás nos estorbó. 19 Pues ¿cuál es nuestra esperanza, o regocijo, o corona de satisfacción? ¿No son ustedes delante de nuestro Señor Jesús en su venida? 20 Ustedes son el resplandor y el gozo nuestro.

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 2:9 John Chrysostom, Homilies on First Thessalonians (Homily III)

    The teacher ought to do nothing with a feeling of being burdened, that tends to the salvation of his disciples. For if the blessed Jacob was buffeted night and day in keeping his flocks, much more ought he, to whom the care of souls is entrusted, to endure all toils, though the work be laborious and mean, looking only to …

  2. Quotes verse 2:7 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book XIII, Chapters XXII–XXIV)

    For to this purpose said that dispenser of Thine,--begetting children by the gospel, --that he might not always have them "babes," whom he would feed on milk, and cherish as a nurse; "be ye transformed," saith He, "by the renewing of your mind, that he may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." Therefore Thou …

  3. Quotes verse 2:14 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XV)

    … for ye also have suffered the same things of your own fellow-countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have driven us out; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men." Which same point here also Christ hath established.

  4. Quotes verse 2:7 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapter I — 32, 33)

    Hear that he descended: "I became a babe in the midst of you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children." For we see both nurses and mothers descend to babes, and although they be able to speak Latin, they shorten the words, shake their tongues in a certain manner, in order to frame childish endearments from a methodical language; because …

  5. Quotes verse 2:15 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXIX)

    This Paul also was laying to their charge, when he said, "Who both killed the Lord, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us." Moreover, that they may not say, "He is an adversary of God, and therefore we do not come," hear what they say who are bidding them; that it is the father who is making the marriage, …
