PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Todos los que están sujetos bajo esclavitud deben considerar a sus amos como dignos de respeto, para que el nombre de Dios y las creencias cristianas no sean difamados.
1 Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
1 Ὅσοι εἰσὶν ὑπὸ ζυγὸν δοῦλοι, τοὺς ἰδίους δεσπότας πάσης τιμῆς ἀξίους ἡγείσθωσαν, ἵνα μὴ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἡ διδασκαλία βλασφημῆται.
2 Los esclavos que tienen amos cristianos no deben irrespetarlos porque son hermanos. Por el contrario, deberían servirles aún mejor, porque los que se están beneficiando de su servicio son hermanos creyentes a quienes deben amar. Enséñales a las personas estas instrucciones, y anímalas a seguirlas.
2 Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
2 οἱ δὲ πιστοὺς ἔχοντες δεσπότας μὴ καταφρονείτωσαν, ὅτι ἀδελφοί εἰσιν, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον δουλευέτωσαν, ὅτι πιστοί εἰσι καὶ ἀγαπητοὶ οἱ τῆς εὐεργεσίας ἀντιλαμβανόμενοι.
3 Aquellos que enseñan creencias distintas, y no escuchan el buen consejo, especialmente las palabras de nuestro Señor Jesucristo y las verdaderas enseñanzas de Dios,
3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
3 Ταῦτα δίδασκε καὶ παρακάλει. εἴ τις ἑτεροδιδασκαλεῖ καὶ μὴ προσέρχεται ὑγιαίνουσι λόγοις τοῖς τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ τῇ κατ᾽ εὐσέβειαν διδασκαλίᾳ,
4 son arrogantes y no entienden nada. Ellos están obsesionados con la especulación y los debates filosóficos que solo conducen a celos, discusiones y chismes malintencionados y desconfianza maligna,
4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,
4 τετύφωται, μηδὲν ἐπιστάμενος, ἀλλὰ νοσῶν περὶ ζητήσεις καὶ λογομαχίας, ἐξ ὧν γίνεται φθόνος, ἔρις, βλασφημίαι, ὑπόνοιαι πονηραί,
5 y esas son las discusiones constantes de personas cuyas mentes están completamente corrompidas y que han perdido la verdad, creyendo que pueden sacar provecho financiero de la religión…
5 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.
5 παραδιατριβαὶ διεφθαρμένων ἀνθρώπων τὸν νοῦν καὶ ἀπεστερημένων τῆς ἀληθείας, νομιζόντων πορισμὸν εἶναι τὴν εὐσέβειαν. ἀφίστασο ἀπὸ τῶν τοιούτων.
6 ¡Pero conocer y seguir a Dios es tan satisfactorio!
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
6 ἔστι δὲ πορισμὸς μέγας ἡ εὐσέβεια μετὰ αὐταρκείας.
7 Pues nosotros no trajimos nada al mundo, y tampoco podemos llevarnos nada.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.
7 οὐδὲν γὰρ εἰσηνέγκαμεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον, δῆλον ὅτι οὐδὲ ἐξενεγκεῖν τι δυνάμεθα·
8 Pero si tenemos alimento y vestimenta, entonces tenemos suficiente.
8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
8 ἔχοντες δὲ διατροφὰς καὶ σκεπάσματα, τούτοις ἀρκεσθησόμεθα.
9 Aquellos que están determinados para volverse ricos, caen en la trampa de la tentación, siguiendo muchos impulsos necios y destructivos.
9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.
9 οἱ δὲ βουλόμενοι πλουτεῖν ἐμπίπτουσιν εἰς πειρασμὸν καὶ παγίδα καὶ ἐπιθυμίας πολλὰς ἀνοήτους καὶ βλαβεράς, αἵτινες βυθίζουσι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους εἰς ὄλεθρον καὶ ἀπώλειαν.
10 Pues el deseo de ser ricos conduce a muchas clases de malos resultados. Algunos de los que anhelaban esto se han apartado de la verdad, y se han causado daño a sí mismos, experimentando gran dolor.
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
10 ῥίζα γὰρ πάντων τῶν κακῶν ἐστιν ἡ φιλαργυρία, ἧς τινες ὀρεγόμενοι ἀπεπλανήθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς πίστεως καὶ ἑαυτοὺς περιέπειραν ὀδύναις πολλαῖς.
11 Pero tú, como hombre de Dios, debes alejarte de tales cosas. Debes procurar hacer lo recto, practicar la verdadera religión, y confiar en Dios. Que tu objetivo sea amar, ser paciente y manso.
11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
11 Σὺ δέ, ὦ ἄνθρωπε τοῦ Θεοῦ, ταῦτα φεῦγε· δίωκε δὲ δικαιοσύνην, εὐσέβειαν, πίστιν, ἀγάπην, ὑπομονήν, πρᾳότητα.
12 Pelea la buena batalla confiando en Dios. Aférrate completamente a la vida eterna a la cual fuiste llamado. Esto fue lo que prometiste hacer delante de muchos testigos.
12 Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
12 ἀγωνίζου τὸν καλὸν ἀγῶνα τῆς πίστεως· ἐπιλαβοῦ τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς, εἰς ἣν [καὶ] ἐκλήθης καὶ ὡμολόγησας τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν ἐνώπιον πολλῶν μαρτύρων.
13 Mi encargo hacia ti, delante de Dios, el Dador de la vida, y delante de Cristo Jesús, quien dio testimonio de la buena nueva ante Poncio Pilato,
13 I command you before God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
13 παραγγέλλω σοι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ζωοποιοῦντος τὰ πάντα καὶ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ μαρτυρήσαντος ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν,
14 es que sigas fielmente lo que se te ha enseñado para que estés libre de toda crítica hasta que aparezca nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
14 τηρῆσαί σε τὴν ἐντολὴν ἄσπιλον, ἀνεπίληπτον μέχρι τῆς ἐπιφανείας τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
15 En el momento apropiado Jesús será revelado, el bendito y único Soberano, el Rey de reyes y Señor de señores.
15 which at the right time he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
15 ἣν καιροῖς ἰδίοις δείξει ὁ μακάριος καὶ μόνος δυνάστης, ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλευόντων καὶ κύριος τῶν κυριευόντων,
16 Él es el único inmortal, y vive en la luz inaccesible. Nadie lo ha visto nunca, ni puede hacerlo. ¡El honor y el poder eterno son suyos! Amén.
16 He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.
16 ὁ μόνος ἔχων ἀθανασίαν, φῶς οἰκῶν ἀπρόσιτον, ὃν εἶδεν οὐδεὶς ἀνθρώπων οὐδὲ ἰδεῖν δύναται· ᾧ τιμὴ καὶ κράτος αἰώνιον· ἀμήν.
17 Advierte a los que son ricos en el mundo presente para que no se vuelvan orgullosos. Diles que no pongan su fe en la riqueza que es tan efímera, sino en Dios, quien nos da gratuitamente todo para nuestro deleite.
17 Charge those who are rich in this present age that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy;
17 Τοῖς πλουσίοις ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι παράγγελλε μὴ ὑψηλοφρονεῖν, μηδὲ ἠλπικέναι ἐπὶ πλούτου ἀδηλότητι, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ζῶντι, τῷ παρέχοντι ἡμῖν πάντα πλουσίως εἰς ἀπόλαυσιν,
18 Díles que hagan el bien, y que se vuelvan ricos en buenas obras, prestos para compartir lo que tienen, y ser generosos.
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;
18 ἀγαθοεργεῖν, πλουτεῖν ἐν ἔργοις καλοῖς, εὐμεταδότους εἶναι, κοινωνικούς,
19 De este modo, acumulan tesoros que les proveerán una base sólida para el futuro, a fin de que puedan aferrarse a la vida verdadera.
19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.
19 ἀποθησαυρίζοντας ἑαυτοῖς θεμέλιον καλὸν εἰς τὸ μέλλον, ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς.
20 Timoteo, cuida lo que se te ha encomendado. No prestes atención a la habladuría sin sentido y a los argumentos basados en supuesto “conocimiento”.
20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,
20 Ὦ Τιμόθεε, τὴν παρακαταθήκην φύλαξον, ἐκτρεπόμενος τὰς βεβήλους κενοφωνίας καὶ ἀντιθέσεις τῆς ψευδωνύμου γνώσεως,
21 Algunos de los que promueven estas ideas se alejaron de su fe en Dios. Que la gracia esté contigo.
21 which some profess, and thus have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
21 ἥν τινες ἐπαγγελλόμενοι περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἠστόχησαν. Ἡ χάρις μετὰ σοῦ· ἀμήν.

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).
A teacher has need not only of authority, but of gentleness, and not only of gentleness, but of authority. And all these the blessed Paul teaches, at one time saying, "These things command and teach" (1 Tim. iv.

"But the love of money is the root of all evils." Knowing, therefore, that "as we brought nothing into the world, so we can carry nothing out," let us arm ourselves with the armour of righteousness; and let us teach, first of all, ourselves to walk in the commandments of the Lord.
For by deeds the better man appears, as I have already remarked; and, inasmuch as these men have no works of their father to adduce, the latter is shown to be God alone. But if any one, "doting about questions," do imagine that what the apostles have declared about God should be allegorized, let him consider my previous statements, in …
… us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life." They who were making such a use of their property have been consoled for light …

We draw nigh unto God, "who dwelleth in the light, which no man can approach unto." And we draw nigh unto Him for deliverance from hell, for remission of sins, for escape from those in tolerable punishments, for attaining to the Heavens, and to the good things that are there.
