2 Corintios 13:8

8 Porque ninguna cosa podemos contra la verdad, sino por la verdad.

2 Corintios 13:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 13:8

For we can do nothing against the truth
The apostles had no power, nor could they, nor did they desire to exercise any against such who received the truth of the Gospel in the love of it; who continued in it, walked in it, and held it fast; who worshipped God in Spirit and in truth, and who walked uprightly, and as became the truth; for as the law is not made for such persons, but the reverse, so the authority the apostles had received from Christ was not to be exercised upon such:

but for the truth:
for the sake of defending the truth against those that dropped, denied, and opposed it; and for the honour of it, by chastising, correcting, reproving, censuring, and punishing such, who either contradicted it, or caused it to be blasphemed and spoken evil of.

2 Corintios 13:8 In-Context

6 Mas espero que conoceréis que nosotros no estamos reprobados.

7 Pero oramos a Dios que ninguna cosa mala hagáis; no para que nosotros seamos hallados aprobados, sino para que vosotros hagáis lo que es bueno, aunque nosotros seamos tenidos por reprobados.

8 Porque ninguna cosa podemos contra la verdad, sino por la verdad.

9 Por lo cual nos gozamos que seamos nosotros flacos, y que vosotros seáis poderosos; y aun oramos por vuestra perfección.

10 Por tanto os escribo esto ausente, por no trataros en presencia con más dureza, conforme a la potestad que el Señor me ha dado para edificación, y no para destrucción.
