1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
1 PUES tú, hijo mío, esfuérzate en la gracia que es en Cristo Jesús.
2 The things you heard from me among many witnesses, entrust them to faithful people who will be able to teach others also.
2 Y lo que has oído de mí entre muchos testigos, esto encarga á los hombres fieles que serán idóneos para enseñar también á otros.
3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
3 Tú pues, sufre trabajos como fiel soldado de Jesucristo.
4 No soldier serves while entangled in the affairs of this life, so that he may please his superior officer.
4 Ninguno que milita se embaraza en los negocios de la vida; á fin de agradar á aquel que lo tomó por soldado.
5 Also, if someone competes as an athlete, he is not crowned unless he competes by the rules.
5 Y aun también el que lidia, no es coronado si no lidiare legítimamente.
6 It is necessary that the hardworking farmer receive his share of the crops first.
6 El labrador, para recibir los frutos, es menester que trabaje primero.
7 Think about what I am saying, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
7 Considera lo que digo; y el Señor te dé entendimiento en todo.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, from David's seed, who was raised from the dead. This is according to my gospel message,
8 Acuérdate que Jesucristo, [el cual fué] de la simiente de David, resucitó de los muertos conforme á mi evangelio;
9 for which I am suffering to the point of being bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound.
9 En el que sufro trabajo, hasta las prisiones á modo de malhechor; mas la palabra de Dios no está presa.
10 Therefore I endure all things for those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
10 Por tanto, todo lo sufro por amor de los escogidos, para que ellos también consigan la salud que es en Cristo Jesús con gloria eterna.
11 This is a trustworthy saying: “If we have died with him, we will also live with him.
11 Es palabra fiel: Que si somos muertos con él, también viviremos con él:
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
12 Si sufrimos, también reinaremos con él: si negáremos, él también nos negará:
13 if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.”
13 Si fuéremos infieles, él permanece fiel: no se puede negar á sí mismo.
14 Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
14 Recuérdales esto, protestando delante del Señor que no contiendan en palabras, [lo cual] para nada aprovecha, [antes] trastorna á los oyentes.
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no reason to be ashamed, who accurately teaches the word of truth.
15 Procura con diligencia presentarte á Dios aprobado, [como] obrero que no tiene de qué avergonzarse, que traza bien la palabra de verdad.
16 Avoid profane talk, which leads to more and more godlessness.
16 Mas evita profanas [y] vanas parlerías; porque muy adelante irán en la impiedad.
17 Their talk will spread like cancer. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
17 Y la palabra de ellos carcomerá como gangrena: de los cuales es Himeneo y Fileto;
18 who have gone astray from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already happened, and they destroy the faith of some.
18 Que se han descaminado de la verdad, diciendo que la resurrección es ya hecha, y trastornan la fe de algunos.
19 However, the firm foundation of God stands. It has this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his” and “Everyone who names the name of the Lord must depart from unrighteousness.”
19 Pero el fundamento de Dios está firme, teniendo este sello: Conoce el Señor á los que son suyos; y: Apártese de iniquidad todo aquel que invoca el nombre de Cristo.
20 In a wealthy home, there are not only containers of gold and silver. There are also containers of wood and clay. Some of these are for honorable use, and some for dishonorable.
20 Mas en una casa grande, no solamente hay vasos de oro y de plata, sino también de madera y de barro: y asimismo unos para honra, y otros para deshonra.
21 If someone cleans himself from dishonorable use, he is an honorable container. He is set apart, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.
21 Así que, si alguno se limpiare de estas cosas, será vaso para honra, santificado, y útil para los usos del Señor, y aparejado para todo buena obra.
22 Flee youthful lusts. Pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a clean heart.
22 Huye también los deseos juveniles; y sigue la justicia, la fe, la caridad, la paz, con los que invocan al Señor de puro corazón.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questions. You know that they give birth to arguments.
23 Empero las cuestiones necias y sin sabiduría desecha, sabiendo que engendran contiendas.
24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel. Instead he must be gentle toward all, able to teach, and patient.
24 Que el siervo del Señor no debe ser litigioso, sino manso para con todos, apto para enseñar, sufrido;
25 He must in meekness educate those who oppose him. God may perhaps give them repentance for the knowledge of the truth.
25 Que con mansedumbre corrija á los que se oponen: si quizá Dios les dé que se arrepientan para conocer la verdad,
26 They may become sober again and leave the devil's trap, after they have been captured by him for his will.
26 Y se zafen del lazo del diablo, en que están cautivos á voluntad de él.

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).
The young sailor at sea is inspired with great confidence, if the Master of the ship has been preserved in a shipwreck. For he will not consider that it is from his inexperience that he is exposed to the storm, but from the nature of things; and this has no little effect upon his mind.

But those surgings in me required to find him at full leisure, that I might pour them out to him, but never were they able to find him so; and I heard him, indeed, every Lord's day, "rightly dividing the word of truth" among the people; and I was all the more convinced that all those knots of crafty calumnies, …

… discourses with us, both in the Old Testament, and in the New; in the one saying, "O my people, what have I done unto thee?" in the other, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me." And Paul too bids, "In meekness instruct those that oppose themselves." And Christ again, when His disciples had come to Him, requiring fire to come down …

Paul also saith, Remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my Gospel: and in the beginning of the Epistle to the Romans he saith, Which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh.

… but rather of the succour rendered "in the power of his might." For He Himself has bound the strong man and spoiled his goods, that is, us men, whom our enemy had abused in every evil activity, and made "vessels meet for the Master's use" us who have been perfected for every work through the making ready of that part …
