PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Así que, hijo mío, sé fuerte en la gracia de Cristo Jesús.
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
1 Σὺ οὖν, τέκνον μου, ἐνδυναμοῦ ἐν τῇ χάριτι τῇ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ,
2 Toma todo lo que me escuchaste decir delante de muchos testigos y compártelo con personas fieles, que luego también las enseñen a otros.
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
2 καὶ ἃ ἤκουσας παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ διὰ πολλῶν μαρτύρων, ταῦτα παράθου πιστοῖς ἀνθρώποις, οἵτινες ἱκανοὶ ἔσονται καὶ ἑτέρους διδάξαι.
3 Sufre conmigo como un buen soldado de Cristo Jesús.
3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
3 σὺ οὖν κακοπάθησον ὡς καλὸς στρατιώτης Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
4 Un soldado activo que no se enreda con los asuntos de la vida diaria. Uno que quiere agradar a quien lo reclutó.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
4 οὐδεὶς στρατευόμενος ἐμπλέκεται ταῖς τοῦ βίου πραγματείαις, ἵνα τῷ στρατολογήσαντι ἀρέσῃ.
5 Del mismo modo, los atletas que compiten en los juegos no ganan un premio si no siguen las normas.
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
5 ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἀθλῇ τις, οὐ στεφανοῦται, ἐὰν μὴ νομίμως ἀθλήσῃ.
6 El granjero que hace todo el trabajo duro debe ser el primero en beneficiarse de la cosecha.
6 The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.
6 τὸν κοπιῶντα γεωργὸν δεῖ πρῶτον τῶν καρπῶν μεταλαμβάνειν.
7 Considera todo lo que te digo. Y el Señor te ayudará a comprender todas estas cosas.
7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
7 νόει ἃ λέγω· δῴη γάρ σοι ὁ Κύριος σύνεσιν ἐν πᾶσι.
8 Fija tu mente en Jesucristo, descendiente de David, que fue levantado de los muertos. Esta es mi buena noticia
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News,
8 Μνημόνευε Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν ἐγηγερμένον ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἐκ σπέρματος Δαυΐδ, κατὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιόν μου,
9 y estoy sufriendo en la cárcel como si fuese un criminal, pero la palabra de Dios no está en una cárcel.
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.
9 ἐν ᾧ κακοπαθῶ μέχρι δεσμῶν ὡς κακοῦργος· ἀλλ᾽ ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐ δέδεται.
10 A pesar de todo esto, estoy dispuesto a continuar por la causa del pueblo de Dios para que puedan recibir la salvación de Cristo Jesús, que es su gloria eterna.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
10 διὰ τοῦτο πάντα ὑπομένω διὰ τοὺς ἐκλεκτούς, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ σωτηρίας τύχωσι τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ μετὰ δόξης αἰωνίου.
11 Este decir es sabio: “Si morimos con él, también viviremos con él;
11 This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
11 Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος· εἰ γὰρ συναπεθάνομεν, καὶ συζήσομεν·
12 si persistimos, también reinaremos con él; si lo negamos, él también nos negará.
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
12 εἰ ὑπομένομεν, καὶ συμβασιλεύσομεν· εἰ ἀρνούμεθα, κἀκεῖνος ἀρνήσεται ἡμᾶς·
13 Si somos infieles, él sigue siendo fiel, porque él no puede ser infiel consigo mismo”.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”
13 εἰ ἀπιστοῦμεν, ἐκεῖνος πιστὸς μένει· ἀρνήσασθαι ἑαυτὸν οὐ δύναται.
14 Esas son las cosas que debes recordarle a la gente, diciéndoles ante Dios que no tengan discusiones vanas en cuanto a las palabras. Porque hacer esto solo hace daño a quien escucha.
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
14 Ταῦτα ὑπομίμνησκε, διαμαρτυρόμενος ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου μὴ λογομαχεῖν εἰς οὐδὲν χρήσιμον, ἐπὶ καταστροφῇ τῶν ἀκουόντων.
15 Esfuérzate arduamente en poder presentarte ante Dios y ser aprobado por él. Sé un obrero que no tenga nada de qué avergonzarse, usando correctamente la palabra de verdad.
15 Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
15 σπούδασον σεαυτὸν δόκιμον παραστῆσαι τῷ Θεῷ, ἐργάτην ἀνεπαίσχυντον, ὀρθοτομοῦντα τὸν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας.
16 Evita las conversaciones inútiles, pues los que hacen esto están lejos de Dios en su caminar.
16 But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
16 τὰς δὲ βεβήλους κενοφωνίας περιΐστασο· ἐπὶ πλεῖον γὰρ προκόψουσιν ἀσεβείας,
17 Sus enseñanzas son destructivas como la gangrena que destruye la carne que está sana. Así son Himeneo y Fileto.
17 and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
17 καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτῶν ὡς γάγγραινα νομὴν ἕξει· ὧν ἐστιν Ὑμέναιος καὶ Φιλητός,
18 Ellos se han desviado de la verdad al decir que la resurrección ya ocurrió, y esto ha destruido la fe de algunos.
18 men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
18 οἵτινες περὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἠστόχησαν, λέγοντες τὴν ἀνάστασιν ἤδη γεγονέναι, καὶ ἀνατρέπουσι τήν τινων πίστιν.
19 Pero el fundamento sólido y fiel de Dios se mantiene firme, con esta inscripción: “El Señor conoce a los que son suyos”, y “Todo el que invoque el nombre del Señor está apartado de todo mal”.
19 However, God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”
19 ὁ μέντοι στερεὸς θεμέλιος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἕστηκεν, ἔχων τὴν σφραγῖδα ταύτην· ἔγνω Κύριος τοὺς ὄντας αὐτοῦ· καί· ἀποστήτω ἀπὸ ἀδικίας πᾶς ὁ ὀνομάζων τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου.
20 Una casa majestuosa no solo tiene copas y tazas de oro y plata. También tiene algunas de madera y barro. Algunas son para uso especial; otras para funciones más comunes.
20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor and some for dishonor.
20 ἐν μεγάλῃ δὲ οἰκίᾳ οὐκ ἔστι μόνον σκεύη χρυσᾶ καὶ ἀργυρᾶ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ξύλινα καὶ ὀστράκινα, καὶ ἃ μὲν εἰς τιμήν, ἃ δὲ εἰς ἀτιμίαν.
21 Así que si te despojas de lo malo, serás una vasija especial, que es santa y única, útil para el Señor, lista para hacer lo bueno.
21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.
21 ἐὰν οὖν τις ἐκκαθάρῃ ἑαυτὸν ἀπὸ τούτων, ἔσται σκεῦος εἰς τιμήν, ἡγιασμένον καὶ εὔχρηστον τῷ δεσπότῃ, εἰς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν ἡτοιμασμένον.
22 Huye de todo lo que incite tus deseos juveniles. Busca las cosas justas y rectas, busca el amor y la paz así como a los que son cristianos y verdaderos.
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
22 τὰς δὲ νεωτερικὰς ἐπιθυμίας φεῦγε, δίωκε δὲ δικαιοσύνην, πίστιν, ἀγάπην, εἰρήνην μετὰ τῶν ἐπικαλουμένων τὸν Κύριον ἐκ καθαρᾶς καρδίας.
23 Evita las discusiones inmaduras y necias, pues tú sabes que esto solo conduce a contiendas.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
23 τὰς δὲ μωρὰς καὶ ἀπαιδεύτους ζητήσεις παραιτοῦ, εἰδὼς ὅτι γεννῶσι μάχας·
24 Porque el ministro del Señor no debe entrar en contiendas, sino ser amable con todos, capaz de enseñar, paciente,
24 The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,
24 δοῦλον δὲ Κυρίου οὐ δεῖ μάχεσθαι, ἀλλ᾽ ἤπιον εἶναι πρὸς πάντας, διδακτικόν, ἀνεξίκακον,
25 mansos para corregir a los que se oponen. Porque puede ser que a esos Dios les ayude a arrepentirse y entender la verdad.
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
25 ἐν πρᾳότητι παιδεύοντα τοὺς ἀντιδιατιθεμένους, μήποτε δῷ αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεὸς μετάνοιαν εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας,
26 Así podrán entrar en razón y escapar de la trampa del diablo. Porque él los ha capturado para que hagan su voluntad.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
26 καὶ ἀνανήψωσιν ἐκ τῆς τοῦ διαβόλου παγίδος, ἐζωγρημένοι ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ ἐκείνου θέλημα.

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."
