GOD'S WORD Translation GW
1 ¿COMENZAMOS otra vez á alabarnos á nosotros mismos? ¿ó tenemos necesidad, como algunos, de letras de recomendación para vosotros, ó de recomendación de vosotros?
1
Do we have to show you our qualifications again? Do we, like some people, need letters that recommend us to you or letters from you that recommend us to others?
2 Nuestras letras sois vosotros, escritas en nuestros corazones, sabidas y leídas de todos los hombres;
2
You're our letter of recommendation written in our hearts that everyone knows and reads.
3 Siendo manifiesto que sois letra de Cristo administrada de nosotros, escrita no con tinta, mas con el Espíritu del Dios vivo; no en tablas de piedra, sino en tablas de carne del corazón.
3
It's clear that you are Christ's letter, written as a result of our ministry. You are a letter written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, a letter written not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
4 Y tal confianza tenemos por Cristo para con Dios:
4
Christ gives us confidence about you in God's presence.
5 No que seamos suficientes de nosotros mismos para pensar algo como de nosotros mismos, sino que nuestra suficiencia es de Dios;
5
By ourselves we are not qualified in any way to claim that we can do anything. Rather, God makes us qualified.
6 El cual asimismo nos hizo ministros suficientes de un nuevo pacto: no de la letra, mas del espíritu; porque la letra mata, mas el espíritu vivifica.
6
He has also qualified us to be ministers of a new promise, a spiritual promise, not a written one. Clearly, what was written brings death, but the Spirit brings life.
7 Y si el ministerio de muerte en la letra grabado en piedras, fué con gloria, tanto que los hijos de Israel no pudiesen poner los ojos en la faz de Moisés á causa de la gloria de su rostro, la cual había de perecer,
7
The ministry that brought death was inscribed on stone. Yet, it came with such glory that the people of Israel couldn't look at Moses' face. His face was shining with glory, even though that glory was fading.
8 ¿Cómo no será más bien con gloria el ministerio del espíritu?
8
Won't the ministry that brings the Spirit have even more glory?
9 Porque si el ministerio de condenación fué con gloria, mucho más abundará en gloria el ministerio de justicia.
9
If the ministry that brings punishment has glory, then the ministry that brings God's approval has an overwhelming glory.
10 Porque aun lo que fué glorioso, no es glorioso en esta parte, en comparación de la excelente gloria.
10
In fact, the ministry that brings punishment lost its glory because of the superior glory of the other ministry.
11 Porque si lo que perece tuvo gloria, mucho más será en gloria lo que permanece.
11
If that former ministry faded away despite its glory, how much more does that ministry which remains continue to be glorious?
12 Así que, teniendo tal esperanza, hablamos con mucha confianza;
12
Since we have confidence [in the new promise], we speak very boldly.
13 Y no como Moisés, que ponía un velo sobre su faz, para que los hijos de Israel no pusiesen los ojos en el fin de lo que había de ser abolido.
13
We are not like Moses. He kept covering his face with a veil. He didn't want the people of Israel to see the glory fading away.
14 Empero los sentidos de ellos se embotaron; porque hasta el día de hoy les queda el mismo velo no descubierto en la lección del antiguo testamento, el cual por Cristo es quitado.
14
However, their minds became closed. In fact, to this day the same veil is still there when they read the Old Testament. It isn't removed, because only Christ can remove it.
15 Y aun hasta el día de hoy, cuando Moisés es leído, el velo está puesto sobre el corazón de ellos.
15
Yet, even today, when they read the books of Moses, a veil covers their minds.
16 Mas cuando se convirtieren al Señor, el velo se quitará.
16
But whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 Porque el Señor es el Espíritu; y donde hay el Espíritu del Señor, allí hay libertad.
17
This Lord is the Spirit. Wherever the Lord's Spirit is, there is freedom.
18 Por tanto, nosotros todos, mirando á cara descubierta como en un espejo la gloria del Señor, somos transformados de gloria en gloria en la misma semejanza, como por el Espíritu del Señor.
18
As all of us reflect the Lord's glory with faces that are not covered with veils, we are being changed into his image with ever-increasing glory. This comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
