1 Yo mismo, Pablo, los insto personalmente, por la bondad y la ternura de Cristo. El mismo Pablo que es “tímido” cuando está con ustedes, pero que es “osado” cuando no está allá. 2 Les ruego para que la próxima vez que esté con ustedes, no tenga que ser tan duro como pienso que tendré que ser, confrontando abiertamente a los que piensan que nosotros nos comportamos de forma mundana. 3 Aunque vivimos en este mundo, no peleamos como el mundo. 4 Nuestras armas no son de este mundo, pero tenemos el poder de Dios que destruye fortalezas del pensamiento humano, y derriba teorías engañosas. 5 Todo muro que se interpone contra el conocimiento de Dios es derribado. Todo pensamiento rebelde es capturado y conducido a un acuerdo de obediencia a Cristo. 6 Cuando ustedes estén obedeciendo a Cristo por completo, entonces estaremos listos para castigar cualquier desobediencia. 7 ¡Miren lo que tienen delante de sus ojos! Todo el que crea que pertenece a Cristo debe pensarlo dos veces, porque así como ellos pertenecen a Cristo, nosotros también le pertenecemos. 8 Aunque pareciera que me enorgullezco mucho de nuestra autoridad, no me avergüenzo de ello. El Señor nos dio esta autoridad para edificarlos a ustedes, no para destruirlos. 9 No intento asustarlos con mis cartas. 10 La gente dice: “Sus cartas son duras y severas, pero en persona es débil, y es un orador inútil”. 11 Este tipo de personas deberían comprender que lo que decimos por cartas cuando no estamos allá, lo haremos cuando sí estemos allá. 12 No somos tan arrogantes como para compararnos con los que se tienen en un concepto muy alto. ¡Los que se miden a sí mismos, y se comparan consigo mismos, son totalmente necios! 13 Pero no nos jactamos con términos extravagantes que no puedan medirse. Sencillamente medimos lo que hemos hecho usando el sistema de medida que Dios nos ha dado, y eso los incluye a ustedes. 14 No estamos abusando de nuestra autoridad al decir esto, como si no hubiéramos estado entre ustedes, porque realmente sí estuvimos allí y compartimos con ustedes la buena noticia de Cristo. 15 Nosotros no nos estamos jactando con términos extravagantes que no puedan medirse, reclamando crédito por lo que otros han hecho. Por el contrario, esperamos que a medida que su fe en Dios aumenta, nuestra obra entre ustedes crezca en gran manera. 16 Entonces podremos compartir la buena noticia en lugares que están más allá, sin jactarnos de lo que ya ha sido hecho por otros. 17 “Si alguno quiere jactarse, que se jacte en el Señor”. 18 No reciben respeto los que se elogian a sí mismos, sino a los que el Señor elogia.

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).

  1. Commentary 10:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Second Corinthians (Homily XXI)

    Having completed, in such sort as behoved his discourse of almsgiving, and having shown that he loves them more than he is loved, and having recounted the circumstances of his patience and trials, he now opportunely enters upon points involving more of reproof, making allusion to the false apostles, and concluding his discourse with more disagreeable matter, and with commendations …

  2. Quotes verse 10:17 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters VII–XIII)

    … "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, neither let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glorieth glory in the Lord, in diligently seeking Him, and doing judgment and righteousness" ), being especially mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus which He spake, teaching …

  3. Quotes verse 10:17 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book IX, Chapter XIII)

    Oh, if men would know themselves to be men; and that "he that glorieth" would "glory in the Lord!"

  4. Quotes verse 10:6 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XL)

    For this He declared by saying "Till He send forth judgment unto victory: and in His name shall the Gentiles trust." As Paul likewise saith, "Having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." But what is, "when He sends forth judgment unto victory?" When He hath fulfilled all His own part, then, we are told, …

  5. Quotes verse 10:12 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XII, Chapters 16–18)

    So that saying of the apostle comes true of them, for, "comparing themselves with themselves, they do not understand." For because they do, in virtue of a new purpose, whatever new thing has occurred to them to be done (their minds being changeable), they conclude it is so with God; and thus compare, not God,--for they cannot conceive God, but …
