2 Corinthians 6 Clementine Vulgate
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Adjuvantes autem exhortamur ne in vacuum gratiam Dei recipiatis.
1 Y ASÍ [nosotros], [como] ayudadores juntamente [con él], [os] exhortamos también á que no recibáis en vano la gracia de Dios,
2 Ait enim: Tempore accepto exaudivi te, et in die salutis adjuvi te. Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile, ecce nunc dies salutis.
2 (Porque dice: En tiempo aceptable te he oído, y en día de salud te he socorrido: he aquí ahora el tiempo aceptable; he aquí ahora el día de salud:)
3 Nemini dantes ullam offensionem, ut non vituperetur ministerium nostrum:
3 No dando á nadie ningún escándalo, porque el ministerio nuestro no sea vituperado:
4 sed in omnibus exhibeamus nosmetipsos sicut Dei ministros in multa patientia, in tribulationibus, in necessitatibus, in angustiis,
4 Antes habiéndonos en todas cosas como ministros de Dios, en mucha paciencia, en tribulaciones, en necesidades, en angustias;
5 in plagis, in carceribus, in seditionibus, in laboribus, in vigiliis, in jejuniis,
5 En azotes, en cárceles, en alborotos, en trabajos, en vigilias, en ayunos;
6 in castitate, in scientia, in longanimitate, in suavitate, in Spiritu Sancto, in caritate non ficta,
6 En castidad, en ciencia, en longanimidad, en bondad, en Espíritu Santo, en amor no fingido;
7 in verbo veritatis, in virtute Dei, per arma justitiæ a dextris et a sinistris,
7 En palabra de verdad, en potencia de Dios, en armas de justicia á diestro y á siniestro;
8 per gloriam, et ignobilitatem, per infamiam, et bonam famam: ut seductores, et veraces, sicut qui ignoti, et cogniti:
8 Por honra y por deshonra, por infamia y por buena fama; como engañadores, mas hombres de verdad;
9 quasi morientes, et ecce vivimus: ut castigati, et non mortificati:
9 Como ignorados, mas conocidos; como muriendo, mas he aquí vivimos; como castigados, mas no muertos;
10 quasi tristes, semper autem gaudentes: sicut egentes, multos autem locupletantes: tamquam nihil habentes, et omnia possidentes.
10 Como doloridos, mas siempre gozosos; como pobres, mas enriqueciendo á muchos; como no teniendo nada, mas poseyéndolo todo.
11 Os nostrum patet ad vos, o Corinthii; cor nostrum dilatatum est.
11 Nuestra boca está abierta á vosotros, oh Corintios: nuestro corazón es ensanchado.
12 Non angustiamini in nobis: angustiamini autem in visceribus vestris:
12 No estáis estrechos en nosotros, mas estáis estrechos en vuestras propias entrañas.
13 eamdem autem habentes remunerationem, tamquam filiis dico, dilatamini et vos.
13 Pues, para corresponder al propio modo (como á hijos hablo), ensanchaos también vosotros.
14 Nolite jugum ducere cum infidelibus. Quæ enim participatio justitiæ cum iniquitate? aut quæ societas luci ad tenebras?
14 No os juntéis en yugo con los infieles: porque ¿qué compañía tiene la justicia con la injusticia? ¿y qué comunión la luz con las tinieblas?
15 quæ autem conventio Christi ad Belial? aut quæ pars fideli cum infideli?
15 ¿Y qué concordia Cristo con Belial? ¿ó qué parte el fiel con el infiel?
16 qui autem consensus templo Dei cum idolis? vos enim estis templum Dei vivi, sicut dicit Deus: [Quoniam inhabitabo in illis, et inambulabo inter eos, et ero illorum Deus, et ipsi erunt mihi populus.
16 ¿Y qué concierto el templo de Dios con los ídolos? porque vosotros sois el templo del Dios viviente, como Dios dijo: Habitaré y andaré en ellos; y seré el Dios de ellos, y ellos serán mi pueblo.
17 Propter quod exite de medio eorum, et separamini, dicit Dominus, et immundum ne tetigeritis:
17 Por lo cual salid de en medio de ellos, y apartaos, dice el Señor, y no toquéis lo inmundo; y yo os recibiré,
18 et ego recipiam vos: et ero vobis in patrem, et vos eritis mihi in filios et filias, dicit Dominus omnipotens.]
18 Y seré á vosotros Padre, y vosotros me seréis á mí hijos é hijas, dice el Señor Todopoderoso.

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).
For since he said, God beseeches, and we are ambassadors and suppliants unto you, that ye be "reconciled unto God:" lest they should become supine, he hereby again alarms and arouses them, saying: "We intreat that ye receive not the grace of God in vain." For let us not,' he says, therefore be at ease, because He beseeches and hath …

… or how wide it spreads, than he that measures it and counts all its branches, and neither owns it nor knows or loves its Creator; so a just man, whose is the entire world of wealth, and who, as having nothing, yet possesseth all things by cleaving unto Thee, to whom all things are subservient, though he know not even …

or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" And while the children of heathens, who know nothing of resurrection, do yet find words of consolation, saying, "Bear it manfully, for it is not possible to undo what hath taken place, nor to amend it by lamentations;" art not thou, who hearest sayings wiser and better than these, ashamed …

The present is the season of confession: confess what thou hast done in word or in deed, by night or by day; confess in an acceptable time, and in the day of salvation receive the heavenly treasure.

… through communion with Himself to incorruption), and when moreover, through the transgression of the command we had confused and obliterated the marks of the divine image, and had become evil, we were stripped of our communion with God (for what communion hath light with darkness?): and having been shut out from life we became subject to the corruption of …
