2 Corintios 6:8

8 Servimos a Dios, ya sea que la gente nos honre o nos desprecie, sea que nos calumnie o nos elogie. Somos sinceros, pero nos llaman impostores.

2 Corintios 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 6:8

By honour and dishonour
Some persons think and speak honourably of us, and behave in a reverent manner towards us; they wish us well, bid us God speed, receive us into their houses, and treat us with respect: others think meanly of us, speak of us with the utmost contempt, and use us as if we were the filth of the world, and the offscouring of all things; so we pass through the world; this is the treatment we meet with on the right hand and on the left; nor are we much affected with it:

by evil report and good report;
as it fares with our persons, so with our doctrine: some speak well of it, receive and embrace it; others blaspheme it, and have it in the utmost abhorrence; we are charged with the vilest of crimes, and our doctrines loaded with the most absurd and wicked consequences, and both branded in the most infamous manner by one set of men; and by others both our persons and principles are cleared and vindicated from all such aspersions, and are highly commended and applauded.

As deceivers;
for so they were accounted, as Christ was before them, by the unbelieving Jews, and by the false apostles, as if they were the authors, or abettors, and spreaders of errors, and the instruments of leading people aside.

And yet true;
true and faithful ministers of the word; true to their Lord and master; true to the trust committed to them; true to the Gospel of Christ, and to the souls of men.

2 Corintios 6:8 In-Context

6 Demostramos lo que somos por nuestra pureza, nuestro entendimiento, nuestra paciencia, nuestra bondad, por el Espíritu Santo que está dentro de nosotros
y por nuestro amor sincero.

7 Con fidelidad predicamos la verdad. El poder de Dios actúa en nosotros. Usamos las armas de la justicia con la mano derecha para atacar y con la izquierda para defender.

8 Servimos a Dios, ya sea que la gente nos honre o nos desprecie, sea que nos calumnie o nos elogie. Somos sinceros, pero nos llaman impostores.

9 Nos ignoran aun cuando somos bien conocidos. Vivimos al borde de la muerte, pero aún seguimos con vida. Nos han golpeado, pero no matado.

10 Hay dolor en nuestro corazón, pero siempre tenemos alegría. Somos pobres, pero damos riquezas espirituales a otros. No poseemos nada, y sin embargo, lo tenemos todo.
