WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Wolde to god ye coulde suffre me a lytell in my folysshnes: yee and I praye you forbeare me.
1 OJALÁ toleraseis un poco mi locura; empero toleradme.
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
2 For I am gelous over you with godly gelousy. For I coupled you to one man to make you a chaste virgen to Christ.
2 Pues que os celo con celo de Dios; porque os he desposado á un marido, para presentaros [como] una virgen pura á Cristo.
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you in marriage to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
3 But I feare lest as the serpent begyled Eve thorow his sutteltie even so youre wittes shuld be corrupte from the singlenes that is in Christ.
3 Mas temo que como la serpiente engañó á Eva con su astucia, sean corrompidos así vuestros sentidos en alguna manera, de la simplicidad que es en Cristo.
3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that commeth preache another Iesus then hym whom we preached: or if ye receave another sprete then that which ye have receaved: other another gospell then that ye have receaved ye myght right wel have bene content.
4 Porque si el que viene, predicare otro Jesús que el que hemos predicado, ó recibiereis otro espíritu del que habéis recibido, ú otro evangelio del que habéis aceptado, [lo] sufrierais bien.
4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news” which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.
5 I suppose that I was not behynde the chefe apostles.
5 Cierto pienso que en nada he sido inferior á aquellos grandes apóstoles.
5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
6 Though I be rude in speakynge yet I am not so in knowledge. How be it amonge you we are knowen to the vtmost what we are in all thynges.
6 Porque aunque [soy] basto en la palabra, empero no en la ciencia: mas en todo somos ya del todo manifiestos á vosotros.
6 But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
7 Did I therin synne be cause I submitted my silfe that ye myght be exalted and because I preached to you the gospell of God fre?
7 ¿Pequé yo humillándome á mí mismo, para que vosotros fueseis ensalzados, porque os he predicado el evangelio de Dios de balde?
7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?
8 I robbed other congregacions and toke wages of the to do you service with all.
8 He despojado las otras iglesias, recibiendo salario para ministraros á vosotros.
8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
9 And when I was present with yov and had nede I was greuous to no man for that which was lackynge vnto me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all thynges I kept my silfe that I shuld not be greveous to you: and so will I kepe my silfe.
9 Y estando con vosotros y teniendo necesidad, á ninguno fuí carga; porque lo que me faltaba, suplieron los hermanos que vinieron de Macedonia: y en todo me guardé de seros gravoso, y me guardaré.
9 When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
10 Yf the trueth of Christ be in me this ieioysynge shall not be taken from me in the regions of Achaia.
10 Es la verdad de Cristo en mí, que esta gloria no me será cerrada en las partes de Acaya.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11 Wherfore? Be cause I love you not? God knoweth.
11 ¿Por qué? ¿porque no os amo? Dios lo sabe.
11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
12 Neverthe lesse what I doo that will I do to cut awaye occasion from them which desyre occasion that they myght be founde lyke vnto vs in that wherin they reioyce.
12 Mas lo que hago, haré aún, para cortar la ocasión de aquellos que la desean, á fin de que en aquello que se glorían, sean hallados semejantes á nosotros.
12 But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity, that in which they boast, they may be recognized just like us.
13 For these falce apostles are disceatefull workers and fassion them selves lyke vnto the apostles of Christ.
13 Porque éstos son falsos apóstoles, obreros fraudulentos, transfigurándose en apóstoles de Cristo.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
14 And no marvayle for satan him silfe is chaunged into the fassion of an angell of light.
14 Y no es maravilla, porque el mismo Satanás se transfigura en ángel de luz.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
15 Therfore it is no great thynge though his ministers fassion them selves as though they were the ministers of rightewesnes: whose ende shalbe acordynge to their dedes.
15 Así que, no es mucho si también sus ministros se transfiguran como ministros de justicia; cuyo fin será conforme á sus obras.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
16 I saye agayne lest eny man thynke that I am folishe: or els even now take me as a fole that I maye bost my silfe a lytell.
16 Otra vez digo: Que nadie me estime ser loco; de otra manera, recibidme como á loco, para que aun me gloríe yo un poquito.
16 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
17 That I speake I speake it not after the wayes of the lorde: but as it were folysshly whill we are now come to bostynge.
17 Lo que hablo, no lo hablo según el Señor, sino como en locura, con esta confianza de gloria.
17 That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
18 Seynge that many reioyce after the flesshe I will reioyce also.
18 Pues que muchos se glorían según la carne, también yo me gloriaré.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
19 For ye suffre foles gladly be cause that ye youre selves are wyse.
19 Porque de buena gana toleráis los necios, siendo vosotros sabios:
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
20 For ye suffre even if a man brynge you into bondage: yf a man devoure: yf a man take: yf a man exalt hym silfe: yf a man smyte you on the face.
20 Porque toleráis si alguno os pone en servidumbre, si alguno os devora, si alguno toma, si alguno se ensalza, si alguno os hiere en la cara.
20 For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.
21 I speake as concernynge rebuke as though we had bene weake. How be it wherin soever eny man dare be bolde (I speake folisshly) I dare be bolde also
21 Dígolo cuanto á la afrenta, como si nosotros hubiésemos sido flacos. Empero en lo que otro tuviere osadía (hablo con locura), también yo tengo osadía.
21 To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

22 ¿Son Hebreos? yo también. ¿Son Israelitas? yo también. ¿Son simiente de Abraham? también yo.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
23 They are the ministers of Christ (I speake as a fole) I am moare: In labours moare aboundant: In strypes above measure: In preson more plenteously: In deeth ofte.
23 ¿Son ministros de Cristo? (como poco sabio hablo) yo más: en trabajos más abundante; en azotes sin medida; en cárceles más; en muertes, muchas veces.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.

24 De los judíos cinco veces he recibido cuarenta [azotes] menos uno.
24 Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.

25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.

27 En trabajo y fatiga, en muchas vigilias, en hambre y sed, en muchos ayunos, en frío y en desnudez;
27 in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
28 And besyde the thynges which outwardly happen vnto me I am combred dayly and do care for all congregacions.
28 Sin [otras] cosas además, lo que sobre mí se agolpa cada día, la solicitud de todas las iglesias.
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
29 Who is sicke and I am not sicke? Who is hurte in the fayth and my hert burneth not?
29 ¿Quién enferma, y yo no enfermo? ¿Quién se escandaliza, y yo no me quemo?
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?

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).
Being about to enter upon his own praises he uses much previous correction. And he does this not once or twice, although the necessity of the subject, and what he had often said, were sufficient excuse for him.

The devil also transfigures himself into an angel of light; not that he may reascend to where he was, for having made his heart hard as an anvil, he has henceforth a will that cannot repent; but in order that he may envelope those who are living an Angelic life in a mist of blindness, and a pestilent condition …
