New Living Translation NLT
1 ASI que, amados, pues tenemos tales promesas, limpiémonos de toda inmundicia de carne y de espíritu, perfeccionando la santificación en temor de Dios.
1
Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God.
2 Admitidnos: á nadie hemos injuriado, á nadie hemos corrompido, á nadie hemos engañado.
2
Please open your hearts to us. We have not done wrong to anyone, nor led anyone astray, nor taken advantage of anyone.
3 No para condenar os lo digo; que ya he dicho antes que estáis en nuestros corazones, para morir y para vivir juntamente.
3
I’m not saying this to condemn you. I said before that you are in our hearts, and we live or die together with you.
4 Mucha confianza tengo de vosotros, tengo de vosotros mucha gloria; lleno estoy de consolación, sobreabundo de gozo en todas nuestras tribulaciones.
4
I have the highest confidence in you, and I take great pride in you. You have greatly encouraged me and made me happy despite all our troubles.
5 Porque aun cuando vinimos á Macedonia, ningún reposo tuvo nuestra carne; antes, en todo fuimos atribulados: de fuera, cuestiones; de dentro, temores.
5
When we arrived in Macedonia, there was no rest for us. We faced conflict from every direction, with battles on the outside and fear on the inside.
6 Mas Dios, que consuela á los humildes, nos consoló con la venida de Tito:
6
But God, who encourages those who are discouraged, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
7 Y no sólo con su venida, sino también con la consolación con que él fué consolado acerca de vosotros, haciéndonos saber vuestro deseo grande, vuestro lloro, vuestro celo por mí, para que así me gozase más.
7
His presence was a joy, but so was the news he brought of the encouragement he received from you. When he told us how much you long to see me, and how sorry you are for what happened, and how loyal you are to me, I was filled with joy!
8 Porque aunque os contristé por la carta, no me arrepiento, bien que me arrepentí; porque veo que aquella carta, aunque por algún tiempo os contristó,
8
I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you, though I was sorry at first, for I know it was painful to you for a little while.
9 Ahora me gozo, no porque hayáis sido contristados, sino porque fuisteis contristados para arrepentimiento; porque habéis sido contristados según Dios, para que ninguna pérdida padecieseis por nuestra parte.
9
Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way.
10 Porque el dolor que es según Dios, obra arrepentimiento saludable, de que no hay que arrepentirse; mas el dolor del siglo obra muerte.
10
For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.
11 Porque he aquí, esto mismo que según Dios fuisteis contristados, cuánta solicitud ha obrado en vosotros, y aun defensa, y aun enojo, y aun temor, y aun gran deseo, y aun celo, y aun vindicación. En todo os habéis mostrado limpios en el negocio.
11
Just see what this godly sorrow produced in you! Such earnestness, such concern to clear yourselves, such indignation, such alarm, such longing to see me, such zeal, and such a readiness to punish wrong. You showed that you have done everything necessary to make things right.
12 Así que, aunque os escribí, no fué por causa del que hizo la injuria, ni por causa del que la padeció, mas para que os fuese manifiesta nuestra solicitud que tenemos por vosotros delante de Dios.
12
My purpose, then, was not to write about who did the wrong or who was wronged. I wrote to you so that in the sight of God you could see for yourselves how loyal you are to us.
13 Por tanto, tomamos consolación de vuestra consolación: empero mucho más nos gozamos por el gozo de Tito, que haya sido recreado su espíritu de todos vosotros.
13
We have been greatly encouraged by this. In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus was about the way all of you welcomed him and set his mind at ease.
14 Pues si algo me he gloriado para con él de vosotros, no he sido avergonzado; antes, como todo lo que habíamos dicho de vosotros era con verdad, así también nuestra gloria delante de Tito fué hallada verdadera.
14
I had told him how proud I was of you—and you didn’t disappoint me. I have always told you the truth, and now my boasting to Titus has also proved true!
15 Y sus entrañas son más abundantes para con vosotros, cuando se acuerda de la obediencia de todos vosotros, de cómo lo recibisteis con temor y temblor.
15
Now he cares for you more than ever when he remembers the way all of you obeyed him and welcomed him with such fear and deep respect.
16 Me gozo de que en todo estoy confiado de vosotros.
16
I am very happy now because I have complete confidence in you.
