1 Por lo cual, al no soportar más, decidimos quedarnos solos en Atenas.
1 POR lo cual, no pudiendo esperar más, acordamos quedarnos solos en Atenas,
1 Therefore when we couldn’t stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,
2 Enviamos a Timoteo, nuestro hermano y colaborador de Dios en las Buenas Noticias de Cristo, para fortalecerlos y exhortarlos respecto a su fe,
2 Y enviamos á Timoteo, nuestro hermano, y ministro de Dios, y colaborador nuestro en el evangelio de Cristo, á confirmaros y exhortaros en vuestra fe,
2 and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,
3 a fin de que nadie se desanime por estas aflicciones, porque ustedes mismos saben que estamos para esto.
3 Para que nadie se conmueva por estas tribulaciones; porque vosotros sabéis que nosotros somos puestos para esto.
3 that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
4 Pues aun cuando estábamos con ustedes, les predecíamos que estamos para ser afligidos, como también ocurrió, y supieron.
4 Que aun estando con vosotros, os predecíamos que habíamos de pasar tribulaciones, como ha acontecido y sabéis.
4 For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.
5 Por esto, yo también, al no soportar más, envié a reconocer su fe, no fuera que, de algún modo, los hubiera tentado el que tienta, y que nuestro arduo trabajo resultara en vano.
5 Por lo cual, también yo, no esperando más, he enviado á reconocer vuestra fe, no sea que os haya tentado el tentador, y que nuestro trabajo haya sido en vano.
5 For this cause I also, when I couldn’t stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.
6 Pero ahora, al regresar Timoteo y traernos buenas noticias de la fe y del amor de ustedes, que siempre tienen buen recuerdo de nosotros y anhelan vernos, como también nosotros a ustedes,
6 Empero volviendo de vosotros á nosotros Timoteo, y haciéndonos saber vuestra fe y caridad, y que siempre tenéis buena memoria de nosotros, deseando vernos, como también nosotros á vosotros,
6 But Timothy has just now come to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you.
7 por esto, hermanos, en medio de toda nuestra necesidad y aflicción, fuimos consolados por medio de su fe,
7 En ello, hermanos, recibimos consolación de vosotros en toda nuestra necesidad y aflicción por causa de vuestra fe:
7 For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.
8 pues ahora vivimos, ya que ustedes están firmes en [el] Señor.
8 Porque ahora vivimos, si vosotros estáis firmes en el Señor.
8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
9 Porque, ¿qué acción de gracias podemos devolver a Dios por ustedes, por todo el gozo que tenemos delante de nuestro Dios por amor a ustedes?
9 Por lo cual, ¿qué hacimiento de gracias podremos dar á Dios por vosotros, por todo el gozo con que nos gozamos á causa de vosotros delante de nuestro Dios,
9 For what thanksgiving can we give again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,
10 Imploramos intensamente de noche y de día que veamos su rostro y completemos las cosas que faltan a su fe.
10 Orando de noche y de día con grande instancia, que veamos vuestro rostro, y que cumplamos lo que falta á vuestra fe?
10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
11 El mismo Dios y Padre nuestro, y nuestro Señor Jesús, dirija nuestro camino a ustedes.
11 Mas el mismo Dios y Padre nuestro, y el Señor nuestro Jesucristo, encamine nuestro viaje á vosotros.
11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
12 El Señor los haga crecer y abundar en el amor unos a otros y para todos, así como también nosotros para ustedes,
12 Y á vosotros multiplique el Señor, y haga abundar el amor entre vosotros, y para con todos, como [es] también de nosotros para con vosotros;
12 May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,
13 a fin de confirmar sus corazones intachables en santidad delante de nuestro Dios y Padre en la venida de nuestro Señor Jesús con todos sus santos.
13 Para que sean confirmados vuestros corazones en santidad, irreprensibles delante de Dios y nuestro Padre, para la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo con todos sus santos.
13 to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

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).
A question lies before us to-day, which is much disputed, and which is gathered from many sources. But what is this question? "For this cause," he says, "when I could no longer forbear, I sent Timothy that I might know your faith." What sayest thou?

And in that to the Thessalonians: "Night and day," he says, "praying more abundantly, that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith." Here we are, of course, to understand those who were under such primary catechetical instruction, …
