Notes on this text (3)

1 Por lo qual teniendo nosotros ésta administración, según la misericordia, que hemos alcanzado, no desmayamos: 2 Antes desechamos los disimulos vergonzosos, no andando en astucia, ni adulterando la palabra de Dios, mas recomendándonos á nosotros mismos á toda conciencia de hombres delante de Dios en la manifestación de la verdad. 3 Y si nuestro Evangelio aún está encubierto, en aquellos que se pierden está encubierto. 4 En los quales el Dios de éste siglo cegó los entendimientos de los incrédulos, para que no les resplandezca la luz del Evangelio de la gloria de Christo, el qual es la imágen de Dios. 5 Porque no nos predicamos á nosotros mismos, sino á Jesu-Christo Señor nuestro; y que nosotros somos vuestros siervos por Jesús: 6 Porque Dios, que dixo que de las tinieblas resplandeciese la luz, él mismo resplandeció en nuestros corazones, para iluminacion del conocimiento de la gloria de Dios en la faz de Jesu-Christo. 7 Pero tenemos éste thesoro en vasos de barro, para que la alteza sea de la virtud de Dios, y no de nosotros. 8 S En todo padecemos tribulaciones, mas no nos acongojamos: estamos en apuros, mas no quedamos sin recurso: 9 Padecemos persecucion, mas no somos desamparados: somos abatidos, mas no perecemos. 10 Trayendo siempre la mortificación de Jesús en nuestro cuerpo, para que la vida de Jesús se manifieste también en nuestros cuerpos. 11 Porque nosotros, que vivimos, somos á cada paso entregados á muerte por Jesús; para que la vida de Jesús se manifieste también en puestra carne mortal. 12 De manera que la muerte obra en nosotros, mas la vida en vosotros. 13 Pero teniendo el mismo espíritu de la fé, conforme está escrito: Creí, por lo qual hablé: nosotros también creemos, y por eso hablamos: 14 Estando ciertos, que el que resucitó á Jesús, nos resucitará también á nosotros con Jesús, y nos colocará con vosotros. 15 Pues todo es por vosotros: para que la gracia, que abunda por el hacimiento de gracias de muchos, redunde en gloria de Dios. 16 Por tanto no desmayamos: antes aunque éste nuestro hombre, que está fuera, se debilite; pero el que está dentro, se renueva de día en día. 17 Porque lo que aquí es para nosotros de una tribulación momentánea y ligera, engendra en nosotros de un modo muy maravilloso un peso eterno de gloria, 18 No atendiendo nosotros á las cosas que se ven, sino á las que no se ven. Porque las cosas que se ven, son temporales; mas las que no se ven, son eternas.

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).

    Seeing he had uttered great things and had set himself and all the faithful before Moses, aware of the height and greatness of what he had said, observe how he moderates his tone again.

    As to their affirming that Paul said plainly in the Second [Epistle] to the Corinthians, "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believe not," and maintaining that there is indeed one god of this world, but another who is beyond all principality, and beginning, and power, we are not to blame if they, …

  3. Quotes verse 4:16 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIII, Chapters 21–23)

    … contrary, it so thoroughly adopts it, that even while a man is alive, and body and soul are united, it calls each of them singly by the name "man," speaking of the soul as the "inward man," and of the body as the "outward man," as if there were two men, though both together are indeed but one.

  4. Quotes verse 4:17 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XVI)

    Hear, for instance, how of those passions Paul is ashamed, even after his deliverance from them, saying, "For what fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed?" But virtue, even after his labor, he affirms to be light, calling the laboriousness of our affliction momentary and "light," and rejoicing in his sufferings, and glorying in his …

  5. Quotes verse 4:4 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture VI)

    For it is Paul who saith, In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believe not, lest the light of the Gospel should shine unto them." But Archelaus made a good retort, saying, "Read a little before: But if our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that are perishing.
