1 Now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the churches of Macedonia.
1 ASIMISMO, hermanos, os hacemos saber la gracia de Dios que ha sido dada á las iglesias de Macedonia:
1 Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
2 In the terrible ordeal they suffered, their abundant joy and deep poverty overflowed into rich generosity.
2 Que en grande prueba de tribulación, la abundancia de su gozo y su profunda pobreza abundaron en riquezas de su bondad.
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 I testify that they gave according to their ability and even beyond it. Of their own accord,
3 Pues de su grado [han dado] conforme á sus fuerzas, yo testifico, y aun sobre sus fuerzas;
3 For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
4 they earnestly pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.
4 Pidiéndonos con muchos ruegos, que aceptásemos la gracia y la comunicación del servicio para los santos.
4 begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
5 And not only did they do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then 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.
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 So we urged Titus to help complete your act of grace, just as he had started it.
6 De manera que exhortamos á Tito, que como comenzó antes, así también acabe esta gracia entre vosotros también.
6 So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
7 But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness, and in your love for us—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
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.
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 am not giving a command, but I am testing the sincerity of your love through the earnestness of others.
8 No hablo como quien manda, sino para poner á prueba, por la eficacia de otros, la sinceridad también de la caridad vuestra.
8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty 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.
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 this is my opinion about what is helpful for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give, but even to have such a desire.
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.
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 finish the work, so that you may complete it with the same eager desire, according to your means.
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.
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 the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.
12 Porque si primero hay la voluntad pronta, será acepta por lo que tiene, no por lo que no tiene.
12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.
13 It is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality.
13 Porque no [digo esto] para que haya para otros desahogo, y para vosotros apretura;
13 For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
14 At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. This way there will be equality.
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;
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 who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall.”
15 Como está escrito: El que [recogió] mucho, no tuvo más; y el que poco, no tuvo menos.
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, who put into the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you.
16 Empero gracias á Dios que dió la misma solicitud por vosotros en el corazón de Tito.
16 But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
17 For not only did he welcome our appeal, but he is eagerly coming to you of his own volition.
17 Pues á la verdad recibió la exhortación; mas estando también muy solícito, de su voluntad partió para vosotros.
17 For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
18 Along with Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in the gospel.
18 Y enviamos juntamente con él al hermano cuya alabanza en el evangelio [es] por todas las iglesias;
18 We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.
19 More than that, this brother was chosen by the churches to accompany us with the gracious gift we administer to honor the Lord Himself and to show our eagerness to help.
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:
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 We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this generous gift.
20 Evitando que nadie nos vitupere en esta abundancia que ministramos;
20 We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
21 We are taking great care to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord, but also in the eyes of men.
21 Procurando las cosas honestas, no sólo delante del Señor, mas aun delante de los hombres.
21 Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
22 And we are sending along with them our brother who has proven his earnestness to us many times and in many ways, and now even more so by his great confidence in 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.
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 As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you. As for our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, 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.
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 In full view of the churches, then, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting 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.
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.

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 …
