9 De hecho, nos alegramos cuando nosotros somos débiles y ustedes fuertes; y oramos a Dios para que los restaure plenamente.

2 Corintios 13:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 13:9

For we are glad when we are weak
Appear to be so, look like persons disarmed of all power and authority; the apostles rejoiced when they had no occasion of exerting themselves, and of exercising that high office, and extraordinary commission they had received of Christ Jesus:

and ye are strong;
stand fast in the doctrine of faith, and are lively and active in the exercise of the grace of faith; are strong in Christ, and in his grace, and in the power of his might, to withstand every temptation of Satan, every corruption of their own hearts, and to perform every duty aright.

And this also we wish, even your perfection;
or restoration, or jointing in again; a metaphor taken from the setting of bones that are dislocated and out of joint; for the church at Corinth was like a disjointed body, and the apostle's wish was, that their animosities might cease, their divisions be healed, their disorders rectified, and each member be in its proper place, behaving as became the Gospel of Christ; see ( 1 Corinthians 1:10 ) .

2 Corintios 13:9 In-Context

7 Pedimos a Dios que no hagan nada malo, no para demostrar mi éxito, sino para que hagan lo bueno, aunque parezca que nosotros hemos fracasado.

8 Pues nada podemos hacer contra la verdad, sino a favor de la verdad.

9 De hecho, nos alegramos cuando nosotros somos débiles y ustedes fuertes; y oramos a Dios para que los restaure plenamente.

10 Por eso les escribo todo esto en mi ausencia, para que cuando vaya no tenga que ser severo en el uso de mi autoridad, la cual el Señor me ha dado para edificación y no para destrucción.

11 En fin, hermanos, alégrense, busquen su restauración, hagan caso de mi exhortación, sean de un mismo sentir, vivan en paz. Y el Dios de amor y de paz estará con ustedes.
