2 Corintios 1
Reina-Valera 1995

Salutación

1 Pablo, apóstol de Jesucristo por la voluntad de Dios, y el hermano Timoteo, a la iglesia de Dios que está en Corinto, con todos los santos que están en toda Acaya: 2 Gracia y paz a vosotros de Dios nuestro Padre, y del Señor Jesucristo.

Aflicciones de Pablo

3 Bendito sea el Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Padre de misericordias y Dios de toda consolación, 4 el cual nos consuela en todas nuestras tribulaciones, para que podamos también nosotros consolar a los que están en cualquier tribulación, por medio de la consolación con que nosotros somos consolados por Dios. 5 Así como abundan en nosotros las aflicciones de Cristo, así abunda también por el mismo Cristo nuestra consolación. 6 Pero si somos atribulados es para vuestra consolación y salvación; o si somos consolados es para vuestra consolación y salvación, la cual se realiza en el sufrir las mismas aflicciones que nosotros también padecemos. 7 Y nuestra esperanza respecto de vosotros es firme, pues sabemos que así como sois compañeros en las aflicciones, también lo sois en la consolación.

8 Hermanos, no queremos que ignoréis acerca de la tribulación que nos sobrevino en Asia, pues fuimos abrumados en gran manera más allá de nuestras fuerzas, de tal modo que aun perdimos la esperanza de conservar la vida. 9 Pero tuvimos en nosotros mismos sentencia de muerte, para que no confiáramos en nosotros mismos, sino en Dios que resucita a los muertos. 10 Él nos libró y nos libra y esperamos que aun nos librará de tan grave peligro de muerte. 11 Para ello contamos con vuestras oraciones a nuestro favor; y así, siendo muchos los que interceden por nosotros, también serán muchos los que darán gracias por el don concedido a nosotros.

Por qué Pablo postergó su visita a Corinto

12 Nuestro motivo de orgullo es éste: el testimonio de nuestra conciencia, de que con sencillez y sinceridad de Dios (no con sabiduría humana, sino con la gracia de Dios), nos hemos conducido en el mundo, y mucho más con vosotros. 13 No os escribimos otras cosas de las que leéis o también entendéis; y espero que hasta el fin las entenderéis; 14 como también en parte habéis entendido que somos vuestro motivo de orgullo, así como también vosotros lo seréis para nosotros en el día del Señor Jesús.

15 Con esta confianza quise ir primero a vosotros para daros una doble alegría: 16 de ahí pasar a Macedonia y desde Macedonia regresar a vosotros para ser encaminado por vosotros a Judea. 17 Así que, al proponerme esto, ¿actué precipitadamente? O lo que pienso hacer, ¿lo pienso según la carne, para que haya en mí «sí» y «no»? 18 Pero como Dios es fiel, nuestra palabra a vosotros no es «sí» y «no», 19 porque el Hijo de Dios, Jesucristo, que entre vosotros ha sido predicado por nosotros —por mí, Silvano y Timoteo—, no ha sido «sí» y «no», sino solamente «sí» en él, 20 porque todas las promesas de Dios son en él «sí», y en él «Amén», por medio de nosotros, para la gloria de Dios. 21 Y el que nos confirma con vosotros en Cristo, y el que nos ungió, es Dios, 22 el cual también nos ha sellado y nos ha dado, como garantía, el Espíritu en nuestros corazones.

23 Invoco a Dios por testigo sobre mi alma, que por ser indulgente con vosotros no he pasado todavía a Corinto. 24 No que nos enseñoreemos de vuestra fe, sino que colaboramos para vuestro gozo porque por la fe estáis firmes.

New American Standard Bible

Introduction

1 Paul, (A)an apostle of (B)Christ Jesus (C)by the will of God, and our brother (D)Timothy,

To (E)the church of God which is at (F)Corinth with all the [a]saints who are throughout (G)Achaia:

2 (H)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 (I)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and (J)God of all comfort, 4 who (K)comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in [b]any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For just (L)as the sufferings of Christ are [c]ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. 6 But if we are afflicted, it is (M)for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; 7 and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that (N)as you are partners in our sufferings, so also you are in our comfort.

8 For (O)we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our (P)affliction which occurred in [d](Q)Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9 [e]Indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead, 10 who (R)rescued us from so great a danger of death, and will rescue us, He [f](S)on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us, 11 if you also join in (T)helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by (U)many persons in our behalf for the favor granted to us through the prayers of many.

Paul’s Integrity

12 For our [g]proud confidence is this: the testimony of (V)our conscience, that in holiness and (W)godly sincerity, (X)not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you. 13 For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand (Y)until the end; 14 just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, on (Z)the day of our Lord Jesus.

15 In this confidence I intended at first to (AA)come to you, so that you might [h]twice receive a [i](AB)blessing; 16 [j]that is, to (AC)pass [k]your way into (AD)Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be (AE)helped on my journey to Judea. 17 Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I decide, do I decide (AF)according to the flesh, so that with me there will be [l]yes, yes and no, no at the same time? 18 But as (AG)God is faithful, (AH)our word to you is not yes and no. 19 For (AI)the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us—by me and (AJ)Silvanus and (AK)Timothy—was not yes and no, but has been yes (AL)in Him. 20 For (AM)as many as the promises of God are, (AN)in Him they are yes; therefore through Him also is (AO)our Amen to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who (AP)establishes us with you in Christ and (AQ)anointed us is God, 22 who also (AR)sealed us and (AS)gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a [m]pledge.

23 But (AT)I call God as witness to my soul, that it was (AU)to spare you that I did not come again to (AV)Corinth. 24 Not that we (AW)domineer over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are (AX)standing firm.

2 Corinthians 1
New International Version

1 Paul, an apostle(A) of Christ Jesus by the will of God,(B) and Timothy(C) our brother,

To the church of God(D) in Corinth,(E) together with all his holy people throughout Achaia:(F)

2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(G)

Praise to the God of All Comfort

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,(H) the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us(I) in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ,(J) so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation;(K) if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings,(L) so also you share in our comfort.

8 We do not want you to be uninformed,(M) brothers and sisters,[a] about the troubles we experienced(N) in the province of Asia.(O) We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God,(P) who raises the dead.(Q) 10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril,(R) and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope(S) that he will continue to deliver us, 11 as you help us by your prayers.(T) Then many will give thanks(U) on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

Paul’s Change of Plans

12 Now this is our boast: Our conscience(V) testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity[b](W) and godly sincerity.(X) We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom(Y) but on God’s grace. 13 For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that, 14 as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.(Z)

15 Because I was confident of this, I wanted to visit you(AA) first so that you might benefit twice.(AB) 16 I wanted to visit you on my way(AC) to Macedonia(AD) and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way(AE) to Judea.(AF) 17 Was I fickle when I intended to do this? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner(AG) so that in the same breath I say both “Yes, yes” and “No, no”?

18 But as surely as God is faithful,(AH) our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.” 19 For the Son of God,(AI) Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silas[c](AJ) and Timothy(AK)—was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always(AL) been “Yes.” 20 For no matter how many promises(AM) God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen”(AN) is spoken by us to the glory of God.(AO) 21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm(AP) in Christ. He anointed(AQ) us, 22 set his seal(AR) of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.(AS)

23 I call God as my witness(AT)—and I stake my life on it—that it was in order to spare you(AU) that I did not return to Corinth. 24 Not that we lord it over(AV) your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.(AW)
