PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Sabemos que cuando esta “tienda de campaña” terrenal en la que vivimos sea derribada, tenemos una casa preparada por Dios, no hecha por manos humanas. Es eterna, y está en el cielo.
1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.
1 Οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι ἐὰν ἡ ἐπίγειος ἡμῶν οἰκία τοῦ σκήνους καταλυθῇ, οἰκοδομὴν ἐκ Θεοῦ ἔχομεν, οἰκίαν ἀχειροποίητον αἰώνιον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
2 Suspiramos en nuestro anhelo por esto, deseando con ansias ser vestidos de este nuevo hogar celestial.
2 For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
2 καὶ γὰρ ἐν τούτῳ στενάζομεν, τὸ οἰκητήριον ἡμῶν τὸ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐπενδύσασθαι ἐπιποθοῦντες,
3 Cuando tengamos este vestido, ya no nos veremos desnudos.
3 if indeed being clothed, we will not be found naked.
3 εἴ γε καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι οὐ γυμνοὶ εὑρεθησόμεθα.
4 Aunque estamos en esta “tienda” suspiramos, agobiados por esta vida. No deseamos tanto ser desvestidos de lo que nos ofrece esta vida, sino que ansiamos aquello con lo que seremos revestidos, para que lo mortal sea aplastado por la vida.
4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
4 καὶ γὰρ οἱ ὄντες ἐν τῷ σκήνει στενάζομεν, βαρούμενοι ἐφ᾽ ᾧ οὐ θέλομεν ἐκδύσασθαι, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπενδύσασθαι, ἵνα καταποθῇ τὸ θνητὸν ὑπὸ τῆς ζωῆς.
5 Dios mismo preparó todo esto para nosotros, y nos dio al Espíritu como garantía.
5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
5 ὁ δὲ κατεργασάμενος ἡμᾶς εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο Θεός, ὁ καὶ δοὺς ἡμῖν τὸν ἀρραβῶνα τοῦ Πνεύματος.
6 Por ello mantenemos la fe, sabiendo que aunque estamos en casa, con nuestros cuerpos físicos, estamos lejos del Señor.
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
6 Θαρροῦντες οὖν πάντοτε καὶ εἰδότες ὅτι ἐνδημοῦντες ἐν τῷ σώματι ἐκδημοῦμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ Κυρίου·
7 (Pues vivimos por la fe en el Señor, y no por vista).
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
7 διὰ πίστεως γὰρ περιπατοῦμεν, οὐ διὰ εἴδους· —
8 Como les digo, estamos seguros, deseando estar lejos del cuerpo para poder estar en casa con el Señor.
8 We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
8 θαρροῦμεν δὲ καὶ εὐδοκοῦμεν μᾶλλον ἐκδημῆσαι ἐκ τοῦ σώματος καὶ ἐνδημῆσαι πρὸς τὸν Κύριον.
9 Por eso nuestra meta, ya sea que estemos en nuestro cuerpo o no, es agradarle.
9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
9 διὸ καὶ φιλοτιμούμεθα, εἴτε ἐνδημοῦντες εἴτε ἐκδημοῦντες, εὐάρεστοι αὐτῷ εἶναι.
10 Porque todos debemos comparecer ante el tribunal de Cristo. Y cada uno de nosotros recibirá lo que merece por lo que hayamos hecho en esta vida, ya sea bueno o malo.
10 For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
10 τοὺς γὰρ πάντας ἡμᾶς φανερωθῆναι δεῖ ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ βήματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα κομίσηται ἕκαστος τὰ διὰ τοῦ σώματος πρὸς ἃ ἔπραξεν, εἴτε ἀγαθὸν εἴτε κακόν.
11 Sabiendo lo que es el temor al Señor, tratamos de convencer a otros. Para Dios es claro lo que somos, y espero que esté claro en sus mentes también.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God, and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
11 Εἰδότες οὖν τὸν φόβον τοῦ Κυρίου ἀνθρώπους πείθομεν, Θεῷ δὲ πεφανερώμεθα, ἐλπίζω δὲ καὶ ἐν ταῖς συνειδήσεσιν ὑμῶν πεφανερῶσθαι.
12 Una vez más, no intentamos hablar bien de nosotros mismos, sino que tratamos de darles a ustedes la oportunidad de que se sientan orgullosos de nosotros, a fin de que puedan responderle a los que se enorgullecen de lo exterior y no de lo interior.
12 For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
12 οὐ γὰρ πάλιν ἑαυτοὺς συνιστάνομεν ὑμῖν, ἀλλὰ ἀφορμὴν διδόντες ὑμῖν καυχήματος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, ἵνα ἔχητε πρὸς τοὺς ἐν προσώπῳ καυχωμένους καὶ οὐ καρδίᾳ.
13 Si estamos “locos” es por Dios. Si somos sensatos, es por ustedes.
13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
13 εἴτε γὰρ ἐξέστημεν, Θεῷ, εἴτε σωφρονοῦμεν, ὑμῖν.
14 El amor de Cristo nos obliga, porque estamos completamente seguros de que él murió por todos y así todos murieron.
14 For the love of Christ compels us; because we judge thus: that one died for all, therefore all died.
14 ἡ γὰρ ἀγάπη τοῦ Χριστοῦ συνέχει ἡμᾶς,
15 Cristo murió por todos para que ya no vivieran para sí mismos, sino para él, quien murió y resucitó para ellos.
15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
15 κρίναντας τοῦτο, ὅτι [εἰ] εἷς ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀπέθανεν, ἄρα οἱ πάντες ἀπέθανον· καὶ ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀπέθανεν, ἵνα οἱ ζῶντες μηκέτι ἑαυτοῖς ζῶσιν, ἀλλὰ τῷ ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν ἀποθανόντι καὶ ἐγερθέντι.
16 De ahora en adelante ya no miramos a nadie desde el punto de vista humano. Aunque una vez vimos a Cristo de esta manera, ya no lo hacemos.
16 Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
16 Ὥστε ἡμεῖς ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν οὐδένα οἴδαμεν κατὰ σάρκα· εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐγνώκαμεν κατὰ σάρκα Χριστόν, ἀλλὰ νῦν οὐκέτι γινώσκομεν.
17 Por eso todo el que está en Cristo es un nuevo ser. ¡Lo viejo ya se ha ido y ha llegado lo nuevo!
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
17 ὥστε εἴ τις ἐν Χριστῷ, καινὴ κτίσις· τὰ ἀρχαῖα παρῆλθεν, ἰδοὺ γέγονε καινὰ τὰ πάντα.
18 Dios lo hizo transformándonos de enemigos en amigos por medio de Cristo. Dios nos encomendó este mismo trabajo de convertir a sus enemigos en sus amigos.
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
18 τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ καταλλάξαντος ἡμᾶς ἑαυτῷ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ δόντος ἡμῖν τὴν διακονίαν τῆς καταλλαγῆς,
19 Porque Dios estaba en Cristo trayendo al mundo de regreso de la hostilidad a la amistad con él, sin contar sus pecados, y dándonos este mensaje para convertir a sus enemigos en sus amigos.
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
19 ὡς ὅτι Θεὸς ἦν ἐν Χριστῷ κόσμον καταλλάσσων ἑαυτῷ, μὴ λογιζόμενος αὐτοῖς τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, καὶ θέμενος ἐν ἡμῖν τὸν λόγον τῆς καταλλαγῆς.
20 De modo que somos embajadores de Cristo, como si él rogara por nosotros: “Por favor, vuelvan a él y sean sus amigos”
20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
20 Ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ οὖν πρεσβεύομεν ὡς τοῦ Θεοῦ παρακαλοῦντος δι᾽ ἡμῶν· δεόμεθα ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ, καταλλάγητε τῷ Θεῷ·
21 Dios hizo que Jesús, quien nunca pecó, experimentara las consecuencias del pecado para que nosotros pudiéramos tener un carácter recto, así como Dios es recto.
21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
21 τὸν γὰρ μὴ γνόντα ἁμαρτίαν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἁμαρτίαν ἐποίησεν, ἵνα ἡμεῖς γενώμεθα δικαιοσύνη Θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ.

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).
Again he arouses their zeal because many trials drew on. For it was likely that they, in consequence of his absence, were weaker in respect to this [need]. What then saith he? One ought not to wonder that we suffer affliction; nor to be confounded, for we even reap many gains thereby.

If then we entreat the Lord to forgive us, we ought also ourselves to forgive; for we are before the eyes of our Lord and God, and "we must all appear at the judgment-seat of Christ, and must every one give an account of himself." Let us then serve Him in fear, and with all reverence, even as He Himself …
… adorned with works of righteousness, so that the Spirit of God may rest upon us; for this is the wedding garment, of which also the apostle speaks, "Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up by immortality." But those who have indeed been called to God's supper, yet have not received the …
Those pages contain not the expression of this piety,--the tears of confession, Thy sacrifice, a troubled spirit, "a broken and a contrite heart," the salvation of the people, the espoused city, the earnest of the Holy Ghost, the cup of our redemption.

… merely, "If he hath ought against thee." For though it be justly, not even in that case oughtest thou to protract the enmity; since Christ also was justly angered with us, yet nevertheless He gave Himself for us to be slain, "not imputing those trespasses." For this cause Paul also, when urging us in another way to reconciliation, said, "Let …
