1 And so we are making known to you, brothers, the grace of God that has been given in the churches of Macedonia.
1 ASIMISMO, hermanos, os hacemos saber la gracia de Dios que ha sido dada á las iglesias de Macedonia:
2 For within a great experience of tribulation, they have had an abundance of joy, and their profound poverty has only increased the richness of their simplicity.
2 Que en grande prueba de tribulación, la abundancia de su gozo y su profunda pobreza abundaron en riquezas de su bondad.
3 And I bear witness to them, that they were willing to accept what was in accord with their ability, and even what was beyond their ability.
3 Pues de su grado [han dado] conforme á sus fuerzas, yo testifico, y aun sobre sus fuerzas;
4 For they were begging us, with great exhortation, for the grace and the communication of the ministry that is with the saints.
4 Pidiéndonos con muchos ruegos, que aceptásemos la gracia y la comunicación del servicio para los santos.
5 And this is beyond what we had hoped, since they gave themselves, first of all to the Lord, and then also to us, through the will of God,
5 Y no como [lo] esperábamos, mas aun á sí mismos se dieron primeramente al Señor, y á nosotros por la voluntad de Dios.
6 so much so that we petitioned Titus, that in the same manner as he had begun, he would also complete in you this same grace.
6 De manera que exhortamos á Tito, que como comenzó antes, así también acabe esta gracia entre vosotros también.
7 But, just as in all things you abound in faith and in word and in knowledge and in all solicitude, and even more so in your charity toward us, so also may you abound in this grace.
7 Por tanto, como en todo abundáis, en fe, y en palabra, y en ciencia, y en toda solicitud, y en vuestro amor para con nosotros, que también abundéis en esta gracia.
8 I am speaking, not commanding. But through the solicitude of others, I approve of the good character of your charity.
8 No hablo como quien manda, sino para poner á prueba, por la eficacia de otros, la sinceridad también de la caridad vuestra.
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that through his poverty, you might become rich.
9 Porque ya sabéis la gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que por amor de vosotros se hizo pobre, siendo rico; para que vosotros con su pobreza fueseis enriquecidos.
10 And about this, I give my counsel. For this is useful to those of you who, only a year earlier, had just begun to act, or even to be willing to act.
10 Y en esto doy [mi] consejo; porque esto os conviene á vosotros, que comenzasteis antes, no sólo á hacerlo, mas aun á quererlo desde el año pasado.
11 So, truly now, accomplish this in deed, so that, in the same manner as your willing mind is prompted, you may also act, out of that which you have.
11 Ahora pues, llevad también á cabo el hecho, para que como [estuvisteis] prontos á querer, así también [lo estéis] en cumplir conforme á lo que tenéis.
12 For when the will is prompted, it receives according to what that person has, not according to what that person does not have.
12 Porque si primero hay la voluntad pronta, será acepta por lo que tiene, no por lo que no tiene.
13 And it is not that others should be relieved, while you are troubled, but that there should be an equality.
13 Porque no [digo esto] para que haya para otros desahogo, y para vosotros apretura;
14 In this present time, let your abundance supply their need, so that their abundance may also supply your need, in order that there may be an equality, just as it was written:
14 Sino para que en este tiempo, con igualdad, vuestra abundancia supla la falta de ellos, para que también la abundancia de ellos supla vuestra falta, porque haya igualdad;
15 “He with more did not have too much; and he with less did not have too little.”
15 Como está escrito: El que [recogió] mucho, no tuvo más; y el que poco, no tuvo menos.
16 But thanks be to God, who has granted to the heart of Titus, this same solicitude for you.
16 Empero gracias á Dios que dió la misma solicitud por vosotros en el corazón de Tito.
17 For certainly, he accepted the exhortation. But since he was more solicitous, he went to you of his own free will.
17 Pues á la verdad recibió la exhortación; mas estando también muy solícito, de su voluntad partió para vosotros.
18 And we have even sent with him a brother whose praise accompanies the Gospel throughout all the churches.
18 Y enviamos juntamente con él al hermano cuya alabanza en el evangelio [es] por todas las iglesias;
19 And not only that, but he was also chosen by the churches to be a companion for our sojourn in this grace, which is ministered by us with our determined will, to the glory of the Lord.
19 Y no sólo esto, mas también fué ordenado por las iglesias el compañero de nuestra peregrinación para [llevar] esta gracia, que es administrada de nosotros para gloria del mismo Señor, y [para demostrar] vuestro pronto ánimo:
20 So let us avoid this, lest anyone disparage us over the abundance that is ministered by us.
20 Evitando que nadie nos vitupere en esta abundancia que ministramos;
21 For we provide for what is good, not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of men.
21 Procurando las cosas honestas, no sólo delante del Señor, mas aun delante de los hombres.
22 And we have also sent with them our brother, whom we have proven to be frequently solicitous in many matters. But now there is a greater solicitousness, which is greatly entrusted to you;
22 Enviamos también con ellos á nuestro hermano, al cual muchas veces hemos experimentado diligente, mas ahora mucho más con la mucha confianza que [tiene] en vosotros.
23 and whether it concerns Titus, who is a companion to me and a helper to you, or whether it concerns our brothers, the Apostles of the churches, it is to the glory of Christ.
23 Ora en orden á Tito, [es] mi compañero y coadjutor para con vosotros; ó [acerca de] nuestros hermanos, los mensajeros [son] de las iglesias, y la gloria de Cristo.
24 Therefore, in the sight of the churches, show them the proof of your charity and of our glorying about you.
24 Mostrad pues, para con ellos á la faz de las iglesias la prueba de vuestro amor, y de nuestra gloria acerca de vosotros.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
See again his exhortation accompanied with commendations, greater commendations. And he said not, that ye give,' but "that ye abound; in faith," namely, of the gifts, and "in utterance," the word of wisdom, and "knowledge," namely, of the doctrines, and "in all earnestness," to the attaining of all other virtue.

And since His voice is acknowledged in the prophecy, "Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell," He has brought Him down to hell and brought Him up again. By this poverty of His we are made rich; for "the Lord maketh poor and maketh rich." But that we may know what this is, let us hear what follows: "He …
