1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
1 Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
2 how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
3 For to [their] power, I bear record, yea, and beyond [their] power [they were] willing of themselves;
3 For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
4 begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
5 And [this they did], not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
5 This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
6 So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
7 Therefore, as ye abound in every [thing, in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all diligence, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also.
7 But as you abound in everything—in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us—see that you also abound in this grace.
8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
10 And herein I give [my] advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
10 I give advice in this: it is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
11 Now therefore perform the doing [of it]; that as [there was] a readiness to will, so [there may be] a performance also out of that which ye have.
11 But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
12 For if there be first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to that a man hath, [and] not according to that he hath not.
12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.
13 For [I mean] not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
13 For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
14 But by an equality, [that] now at this time your abundance [may be a supply] for their want, that their abundance also may be [a supply] for your want: that there may be equality:
14 but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack, that there may be equality.
15 As it is written, He that [had gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [had gathered] little had no lack.
15 As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
16 But thanks [be] to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
16 But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
17 For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise [is] in the gospel throughout all the churches;
18 We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.
19 And not [that] only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and [declaration of] your ready mind:
19 Not only so, but he was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
20 We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
21 Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which [I have] in you.
22 We have sent with them our brother whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
23 Whether [any do enquire] of Titus, [he is] my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren [be enquired of, they are] the messengers of the churches, [and] the glory of Christ.
23 As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.
24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
24 Therefore show the proof of your love to them before the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.

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.
