1 Entonces nosotros, como colaboradores, también los exhortamos a ustedes a no recibir la gracia de Dios en vano.
1 Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain.
2 Porque [la Escritura ]dice: En tiempo aceptable te escuché, y en día de salvación te socorrí. ¡Aquí está ahora [el] tiempo aceptable! ¡Aquí está ahora [el] día de 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.
3 A nadie damos alguna ocasión de tropiezo, para que nuestro ministerio no sea desacreditado.
3 We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,
4 Más bien, nos recomendamos en todo como ministros de Dios con mucha paciencia en aflicciones, en necesidades, en angustias,
4 but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,
5 en azotes, en cárceles, en tumultos, en trabajos fatigosos, en desvelos, en ayunos,
5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,
6 en pureza, en conocimiento, en longanimidad, en bondad, en el Espíritu Santo, en amor genuino,
6 in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,
7 en palabra de verdad, en poder de Dios mediante armas de la justicia a la derecha y a la izquierda;
7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 por honra y por deshonra, por mala fama y por buena fama; como engañadores, pero veraces;
8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true,
9 como desconocidos, pero bien conocidos; como moribundos, pero hasta aquí vivimos; como castigados, pero no muertos;
9 as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed,
10 como entristecidos, pero siempre gozamos; como pobres, pero enriquecemos a muchos; como si nada tuviéramos, pero poseemos todas las cosas.
10 as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
11 Hablamos abiertamente con ustedes, oh corintios. Nuestro corazón fue ensanchado.
11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
12 [Ustedes] no son restringidos en nosotros, pero son restringidos en sus corazones.
12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.
13 Para que correspondan del mismo modo, amplíen también [su corazón]. Les hablo como a hijos.
13 Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.
14 No se unan en yugo desigual con incrédulos, porque ¿qué compañerismo hay entre [la ]justicia y [la ]iniquidad? ¿Qué comunión hay entre [la ]luz y [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?
15 ¿Qué acuerdo hay entre Cristo y Belial? ¿O qué parte [tiene] un creyente con un incrédulo?
15 What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?
16 ¿Qué acuerdo hay entre el santuario de Dios y [los] ídolos? Porque nosotros somos santuario del Dios que vive. Como Dios dijo: Moraré en ellos. Andaré entre ellos. 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.”
17 Por tanto salgan de en medio de ellos y sepárense, dice el Señor. No toquen lo impuro. Yo los tomaré.
17 Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.
18 Y seré para ustedes Padre, y ustedes serán para Mí hijos e 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.”

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 …
