WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Посему, имея по милости Божией такое служение, мы не унываем;
1 POR lo cual teniendo nosotros esta administración según la misericordia que hemos alcanzado, no desmayamos;
1 Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.
2 но, отвергнув скрытные постыдные дела, не прибегая к хитрости и не искажая слова Божия, а открывая истину, представляем себя совести всякого человека пред Богом.
2 Antes quitamos los escondrijos de vergüenza, no andando con astucia, ni adulterando la palabra de Dios, sino por manifestación de la verdad encomendándonos á nosotros mismos á toda conciencia humana delante de Dios.
2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 Если же и закрыто благовествование наше, то закрыто для погибающих,
3 Que si nuestro evangelio está aún encubierto, entre los que se pierden está encubierto:
3 Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,
4 для неверующих, у которых бог века сего ослепил умы, чтобы для них не воссиял свет благовествования о славе Христа, Который есть образ Бога невидимого.
4 En los cuales el dios de este siglo cegó los entendimientos de los incrédulos, para que no les resplandezca la lumbre del evangelio de la gloria de Cristo, el cual es la imagen de Dios.
4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.
5 Ибо мы не себя проповедуем, но Христа Иисуса, Господа; а мы — рабы ваши для Иисуса,
5 Porque no nos predicamos á nosotros mismos, sino á Jesucristo, el Señor; y nosotros vuestros siervos por Jesús.
5 For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake,
6 потому что Бог, повелевший из тьмы воссиять свету, озарил наши сердца, дабы просветить нас познанием славы Божией в лице Иисуса Христа.
6 Porque Dios, que mandó que de las tinieblas resplandeciese la luz, es el que resplandeció en nuestros corazones, para iluminación del conocimiento de la gloria de Dios en la faz de Jesucristo.
6 seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 Но сокровище сие мы носим в глиняных сосудах, чтобы преизбыточная сила была приписываема Богу, а не нам.
7 Tenemos empero este tesoro en vasos de barro, para que la alteza del poder sea de Dios, y no de nosotros:
7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.
8 Мы отовсюду притесняемы, но не стеснены; мы в отчаянных обстоятельствах, но не отчаиваемся;
8 [Estando] atribulados en todo, mas no angustiados; en apuros, mas no desesperamos;
8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
9 мы гонимы, но не оставлены; низлагаемы, но не погибаем.
9 Perseguidos, mas no desamparados; abatidos, mas no perecemos;
9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
10 Всегда носим в теле мертвость Господа Иисуса, чтобы и жизнь Иисусова открылась в теле нашем.
10 Llevando siempre por todas partes la muerte de Jesús en el cuerpo, para que también la vida de Jesús sea manifestada en nuestros cuerpos.
10 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
11 Ибо мы живые непрестанно предаемся на смерть ради Иисуса, чтобы и жизнь Иисусова открылась в смертной плоти нашей,
11 Porque nosotros que vivimos, siempre estamos entregados á muerte por Jesús, para que también la vida de Jesús sea manifestada en nuestra carne mortal.
11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
12 так что смерть действует в нас, а жизнь в вас.
12 De manera que la muerte obra en nosotros, y en vosotros la vida.
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
13 Но, имея тот же дух веры, как написано: я веровал и потому говорил, и мы веруем, потому и говорим,
13 Empero teniendo el mismo espíritu de fe, conforme á lo que está escrito: Creí, por lo cual también hablé: nosotros también creemos, por lo cual también hablamos;
13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” We also believe, and therefore we also speak,
14 зная, что Воскресивший Господа Иисуса воскресит через Иисуса и нас и поставит перед Собою с вами.
14 Estando ciertos que el que levantó al Señor Jesús, á nosotros también nos levantará por Jesús, y nos pondrá con vosotros.
14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also through Jesus, and will present us with you.
15 Ибо всё для вас, дабы обилие благодати тем большую во многих произвело благодарность во славу Божию.
15 Porque todas [estas cosas padecemos] por vosotros, para que abundando la gracia por muchos, en el hacimiento de gracias sobreabunde á gloria de Dios.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
16 Посему мы не унываем; но если внешний наш человек и тлеет, то внутренний со дня на день обновляется.
16 Por tanto, no desmayamos: antes aunque este nuestro hombre exterior se va desgastando, el interior empero se renueva de día en día.
16 Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
17 Ибо кратковременное легкое страдание наше производит в безмерном преизбытке вечную славу,
17 Porque lo que al presente es momentáneo y leve de nuestra tribulación, nos obra un sobremanera alto [y] eterno peso de gloria;
17 For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,
18 когда мы смотрим не на видимое, но на невидимое: ибо видимое временно, а невидимое вечно.
18 No mirando 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.
18 while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

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, …
… 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.

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 …

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.
