PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Así mismo, hermanos mios, os hacemos saber la gracia de Dios, que ha sido dada en las Iglesias de la Macedonia:
1 Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
1 Γνωρίζω δὲ ὑμῖν, ἀδελφοί, τὴν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν δεδομένην ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Μακεδονίας,
2 Como en grande prueba de tribulación tuvieron ellos abundancia de gozo: y su profunda pobreza abundó en riquezas de su benignidad:
2 how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
2 ὅτι ἐν πολλῇ δοκιμῇ θλίψεως ἡ περισσεία τῆς χαρᾶς αὐτῶν καὶ ἡ κατὰ βάθους πτωχεία αὐτῶν ἐπερίσσευσεν εἰς τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς ἁπλότητος αὐτῶν·
3 Porque yo les doy testimonio, que según sus fuerzas, y aún sobre sus fuerzas han sido voluntarios,
3 For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
3 ὅτι κατὰ δύναμιν, μαρτυρῶ, καὶ ὑπὲρ δύναμιν, αὐθαίρετοι,
4 Rogándonos con mucha instancia, que comunicásemos la gracia y servicio, que se hace para los Santos.
4 begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
4 μετὰ πολλῆς παρακλήσεως δεόμενοι ἡμῶν τὴν χάριν καὶ τὴν κοινωνίαν τῆς διακονίας τῆς εἰς τοὺς ἁγίους,
5 Y no como esperábamos; mas aún se dieron á sí mismos, primero al Señor, y después á nosotros por voluntad de Dios,
5 This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
5 καὶ οὐ καθὼς ἠλπίσαμεν, ἀλλ᾽ ἑαυτοὺς ἔδωκαν πρῶτον τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ ἡμῖν διὰ θελήματος Θεοῦ,
6 De manera que rogamos á Tito, que así como comenzó, así también acabe en vosotros ésta gracia.
6 So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
6 εἰς τὸ παρακαλέσαι ἡμᾶς Τίτον, ἵνα καθὼς προενήρξατο οὕτω καὶ ἐπιτελέσῃ εἰς ὑμᾶς καὶ τὴν χάριν ταύτην.
7 Para que como en todo abundáis en fé, y en palabra, y en ciencia, y en toda diligencia, y además en el afecto que nos teneis, así también abundeis en ésta gracia.
7 But as you abound in everything—in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us—see that you also abound in this grace.
7 ἀλλ᾽ ὥσπερ ἐν παντὶ περισσεύετε, πίστει καὶ λόγῳ καὶ γνώσει καὶ πάσῃ σπουδῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμῖν ἀγάπῃ, ἵνα καὶ ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ χάριτι περισσεύητε.
8 No lo digo como quien manda, mas por la solicitud acerca de los otros, y también para experimentar la buena índole de vuestra caridad.
8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
8 Οὐ κατ᾽ ἐπιταγὴν λέγω, ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς ἑτέρων σπουδῆς καὶ τὸ τῆς ὑμετέρας ἀγάπης γνήσιον δοκιμάζων·
9 Porque sabeis la gracia de nuestro Señor Jesu-Christo, que siendo rico, se hizo pobre por amor vuestro, á fin de que vosotros fueseis ricos por su pobreza.
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
9 γινώσκετε γὰρ τὴν χάριν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὅτι δι᾽ ὑμᾶς ἐπτώχευσε πλούσιος ὤν, ἵνα ὑμεῖς τῇ ἐκείνου πτωχείᾳ πλουτήσητε.
10 Y os doy consejo en esto, porque esto es lo que os cumple; puesto que no solo lo comenzásteis á hacer, mas ya tuvísteis el designio desde el año pasado:
10 I give advice in this: it is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
10 καὶ γνώμην ἐν τούτῳ δίδωμι· τοῦτο γὰρ ὑμῖν συμφέρει, οἵτινες οὐ μόνον τὸ ποιῆσαι, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ θέλειν προενήρξασθε ἀπὸ πέρυσι·
11 Pues ahora cumplidlo de hecho; para que así como la voluntad está pronta para quererlo, así también lo esté para cumplirlo de aquello que teneis.
11 But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
11 νυνὶ δὲ καὶ τὸ ποιῆσαι ἐπιτελέσατε, ὅπως καθάπερ ἡ προθυμία τοῦ θέλειν, οὕτω καὶ τὸ ἐπιτελέσαι ἐκ τοῦ ἔχειν.
12 Porque si la voluntad está pronta, según aquello que tiene, es acepta, no según aquello que no tiene.
12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.
12 εἰ γὰρ ἡ προθυμία πρόκειται, καθὸ ἐὰν ἔχῃ τις εὐπρόσδεκτος, οὐ καθὸ οὐκ ἔχει.
13 No que los otros hayan de tener alivio, y vosotros quedéis en estrechez, sino que haya igualdad.
13 For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
13 οὐ γὰρ ἵνα ἄλλοις ἄνεσις, ὑμῖν δὲ θλῖψις, ἀλλ᾽ ἐξ ἰσότητος ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ τὸ ὑμῶν περίσσευμα εἰς τὸ ἐκείνων ὑστέρημα,
14 Al presente vuestra abundancia supla la indigencia de aquellos, para que la abundancia de aquellos sea también suplemento á vuestra indigencia, de manera que haya igualdad, como está escrito
14 but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack, that there may be equality.
14 ἵνα καὶ τὸ ἐκείνων περίσσευμα γένηται εἰς τὸ ὑμῶν ὑστέρημα, ὅπως γένηται ἰσότης,
15 Al que mucho, no le sobró: y al que poco, no le faltó.
15 As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
15 καθὼς γέγραπται· ὁ τὸ πολὺ οὐκ ἐπλεόνασε, καὶ ὁ τὸ ὀλίγον οὐκ ἠλαττόνησε.
16 Y gracias á Dios, que puso en el corazón de Tito el mismo cuidado por vosotros.
16 But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
16 Χάρις δὲ τῷ Θεῷ τῷ διδόντι τὴν αὐτὴν σπουδὴν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ Τίτου,
17 Porque en verdad recibió la exhortación: mas estando él muy solicito, de su voluntad se partió para vosotros.
17 For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
17 ὅτι τὴν μὲν παράκλησιν ἐδέξατο, σπουδαιότερος δὲ ὑπάρχων αὐθαίρετος ἐξῆλθε πρὸς ὑμᾶς.
18 Enviamos también con él al hermano, cuya alabanza es en el Evangelio por todas las Iglesias
18 We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.
18 συνεπέμψαμεν δὲ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀδελφὸν οὗ ὁ ἔπαινος ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ διὰ πασῶν τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν· —
19 Y no tan solamente esto, sino que las Iglesias nos le dieron por compañero de nuestra peregrinación para ésta gracia, de que nos encargamos para gloria del Señor, y para mostrar nuestra pronta voluntad:
19 Not only so, but he was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
19 οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ χειροτονηθεὶς ὑπὸ τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν συνέκδημος ἡμῶν σὺν τῇ χάριτι ταύτῃ τῇ διακονουμένῃ ὑφ᾽ ἡμῶν πρὸς τὴν αὐτοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου δόξαν καὶ προθυμίαν ἡμῶν· —
20 Evitando que nadie nos pueda censurar en ésta abundancia, de que somos los Administradores.
20 We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
20 στελλόμενοι τοῦτο, μή τις ἡμᾶς μωμήσηται ἐν τῇ ἁδρότητι ταύτῃ τῇ διακονουμένῃ ὑφ᾽ ἡμῶν,
21 Porque procuramos lo honesto, no solamente de Dios, sino también delante de los hombres.
21 Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
21 προνοούμενοι καλὰ οὐ μόνον ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐνώπιον ἀνθρώπων.
22 Enviamos asimismo con ellos á nuestro hermano, al qual muchas veces hemos experimentado diligente; mas ahora lo será mucho mas por la grande confianza que tenemos en vosotros.
22 We have sent with them our brother whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
22 συνεπέμψαμεν δὲ αὐτοῖς τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν, ὃν ἐδοκιμάσαμεν ἐν πολλοῖς πολλάκις σπουδαῖον ὄντα, νυνὶ δὲ πολὺ σπουδαιότερον πεποιθήσει πολλῇ τῇ εἰς ὑμᾶς.
23 Ya sea por Tito, que es mi compañero y coadjutor para con vosotros, ya sean nuestros hermanos, que son Legados de las Iglesias, gloria de Christo.
23 As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.
23 εἴτε ὑπὲρ Τίτου, κοινωνὸς ἐμὸς καὶ εἰς ὑμᾶς συνεργός· εἴτε ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν, ἀπόστολοι ἐκκλησιῶν, δόξα Χριστοῦ.
24 Pues manifestad para con ellos ante la fáz de las Iglesias la muestra de vuestro amor, y de que sois nuestra gloria.
24 Therefore show the proof of your love to them before the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
24 Τὴν οὖν ἔνδειξιν τῆς ἀγάπης ὑμῶν καὶ ἡμῶν καυχήσεως ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν εἰς αὐτοὺς ἐνδείξασθε εἰς πρόσωπον τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν.

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).
See again his exhortation accompanied with commendations, greater commendations. And he said not, that ye give,' but "that ye abound; in faith," namely, of the gifts, and "in utterance," the word of wisdom, and "knowledge," namely, of the doctrines, and "in all earnestness," to the attaining of all other virtue.

And since His voice is acknowledged in the prophecy, "Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell," He has brought Him down to hell and brought Him up again. By this poverty of His we are made rich; for "the Lord maketh poor and maketh rich." But that we may know what this is, let us hear what follows: "He …

For while he pursues an upright life, he takes care to maintain a good reputation as well, providing things honest in the sight of God and men, fearing God, and caring for men.
