PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1◆ Así que, habiendo sido justificados por la fe, tenemos paz con Dios por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
1 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
1 Δικαιωθέντες οὖν ἐκ πίστεως εἰρήνην ἔχομεν πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
2 Por medio de él también tenemos entrada, por la fe, a esta gracia en la cual estamos firmes; y nos gozamos en la esperanza de la gloria de Dios.
2 through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
2 δι᾽ οὗ καὶ τὴν προσαγωγὴν ἐσχήκαμεν τῇ πίστει εἰς τὴν χάριν ταύτην ἐν ᾗ ἑστήκαμεν, καὶ καυχώμεθα ἐπ᾽ ἐλπίδι τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ.
3 Y no solo esto, sino que también nos gozamos en las tribulaciones, sabiendo que la tribulación produce paciencia;
3 Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
3 οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ καυχώμεθα ἐν ταῖς θλίψεσιν, εἰδότες ὅτι ἡ θλῖψις ὑπομονὴν κατεργάζεται,
4 la paciencia produce carácter probado; y el carácter probado produce esperanza.
4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
4 ἡ δὲ ὑπομονὴ δοκιμήν, ἡ δὲ δοκιμὴ ἐλπίδα,
5 Y la esperanza no nos avergüenza, porque el amor de Dios ha sido derramado en nuestros corazones por el Espíritu Santo que nos fue dado.
5 and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
5 ἡ δὲ ἐλπὶς οὐ καταισχύνει, ὅτι ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐκκέχυται ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ἡμῶν διὰ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου τοῦ δοθέντος ἡμῖν.
6 Porque cuando aún éramos débiles, Cristo murió por los impíos en el tiempo señalado.
6 For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
6 ἔτι γὰρ Χριστὸς ὄντων ἡμῶν ἀσθενῶν κατὰ καιρὸν ὑπὲρ ἀσεβῶν ἀπέθανε.
7 Casi nadie muere por una persona justa; aunque tal vez alguien se atreva a morir por una persona buena.
7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
7 μόλις γὰρ ὑπὲρ δικαίου τις ἀποθανεῖται· ὑπὲρ γὰρ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ τάχα τις καὶ τολμᾷ ἀποθανεῖν.
8 Pero Dios muestra su amor por nosotros en esto: cuando todavía éramos pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros.
8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
8 συνίστησι δὲ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀγάπην εἰς ἡμᾶς ὁ Θεός, ὅτι ἔτι ἁμαρτωλῶν ὄντων ἡμῶν Χριστὸς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἀπέθανε.
9 Entonces, mucho más, habiendo sido ahora justificados por su sangre, seremos salvos de la ira por medio de él.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.
9 πολλῷ οὖν μᾶλλον δικαιωθέντες νῦν ἐν τῷ αἵματι αὐτοῦ σωθησόμεθα δι᾽ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς ὀργῆς.
10 Porque si, cuando éramos enemigos, fuimos reconciliados con Dios por la muerte de su Hijo, mucho más, ya reconciliados, seremos salvos por su vida.
10 For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
10 εἰ γὰρ ἐχθροὶ ὄντες κατηλλάγημεν τῷ Θεῷ διὰ τοῦ θανάτου τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, πολλῷ μᾶλλον καταλλαγέντες σωθησόμεθα ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ·
11 Y no solo esto, sino que también nos gozamos en Dios por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, por quien ahora hemos recibido la reconciliación.
11 Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
11 οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ καυχώμενοι ἐν τῷ Θεῷ διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, δι᾽ οὗ νῦν τὴν καταλλαγὴν ἐλάβομεν.
12 Por tanto, así como el pecado entró en el mundo por medio de un hombre, y por el pecado entró la muerte, así la muerte pasó a todos los hombres, porque todos pecaron.
12 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.
12 Διὰ τοῦτο ὥσπερ δι᾽ ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου ἡ ἁμαρτία εἰς τὸν κόσμον εἰσῆλθε καὶ διὰ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὁ θάνατος, καὶ οὕτως εἰς πάντας ἀνθρώπους ὁ θάνατος διῆλθεν, ἐφ᾽ ᾧ πάντες ἥμαρτον· —
13 Antes de la Ley ya había pecado en el mundo; pero donde no hay ley, el pecado no se toma en cuenta de la misma manera.
13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
13 ἄχρι γὰρ νόμου ἁμαρτία ἦν ἐν κόσμῳ, ἁμαρτία δὲ οὐκ ἐλλογεῖται μὴ ὄντος νόμου·
14 Sin embargo, la muerte reinó desde Adán hasta Moisés, aun sobre los que no pecaron con una transgresión como la de Adán, quien era figura del que había de venir.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.
14 ἀλλ᾽ ἐβασίλευσεν ὁ θάνατος ἀπὸ Ἀδὰμ μέχρι Μωϋσέως καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς μὴ ἁμαρτήσαντας ἐπὶ τῷ ὁμοιώματι τῆς παραβάσεως Ἀδάμ, ὅς ἐστι τύπος τοῦ μέλλοντος.
15 Pero el regalo de Dios no es como la transgresión. Porque si por la transgresión de uno murieron muchos, mucho más abundaron para muchos la gracia de Dios y el regalo por la gracia de un solo hombre, Jesucristo.
15 But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
15 Ἀλλ᾽ οὐχ ὡς τὸ παράπτωμα, οὕτω καὶ τὸ χάρισμα. εἰ γὰρ τῷ τοῦ ἑνὸς παραπτώματι οἱ πολλοὶ ἀπέθανον, πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἡ χάρις τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἡ δωρεὰ ἐν χάριτι [τῇ] τοῦ ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς τοὺς πολλοὺς ἐπερίσσευσε.
16 El regalo tampoco es como lo que vino por medio de aquel que pecó. Porque el juicio vino por una sola transgresión y trajo condenación; pero el regalo vino después de muchas transgresiones y trajo justificación.
16 The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.
16 καὶ οὐχ ὡς δι᾽ ἑνὸς ἁμαρτήσαντος τὸ δώρημα· τὸ μὲν γὰρ κρῖμα ἐξ ἑνὸς εἰς κατάκριμα, τὸ δὲ χάρισμα ἐκ πολλῶν παραπτωμάτων εἰς δικαίωμα.
17 Porque si por la transgresión de uno solo reinó la muerte por medio de aquel uno, mucho más reinarán en vida por medio de uno solo, Jesucristo, los que reciben la abundancia de la gracia y del regalo de la justicia.
17 For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
17 εἰ γὰρ τῷ τοῦ ἑνὸς παραπτώματι ὁ θάνατος ἐβασίλευσε διὰ τοῦ ἑνός, πολλῷ μᾶλλον οἱ τὴν περισσείαν τῆς χάριτος καὶ τῆς δωρεᾶς τῆς δικαιοσύνης λαμβάνοντες ἐν ζωῇ βασιλεύσουσι διὰ τοῦ ἑνὸς Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
18 Así que, como por una transgresión vino condenación para todos los hombres, también por un acto justo vino justificación que da vida para todos los hombres.
18 So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
18 Ἄρα οὖν ὡς δι᾽ ἑνὸς παραπτώματος εἰς πάντας ἀνθρώπους εἰς κατάκριμα, οὕτω καὶ δι᾽ ἑνὸς δικαιώματος εἰς πάντας ἀνθρώπους εἰς δικαίωσιν ζωῆς.
19 Porque así como por la desobediencia de un solo hombre muchos fueron hechos pecadores, así también por la obediencia de uno solo muchos serán hechos justos.
19 For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.
19 ὥσπερ γὰρ διὰ τῆς παρακοῆς τοῦ ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου ἁμαρτωλοὶ κατεστάθησαν οἱ πολλοί, οὕτω καὶ διὰ τῆς ὑπακοῆς τοῦ ἑνὸς δίκαιοι κατασταθήσονται οἱ πολλοί.
20 La Ley entró para que la transgresión abundara; pero donde abundó el pecado, sobreabundó la gracia.
20 The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
20 νόμος δὲ παρεισῆλθεν ἵνα πλεονάσῃ τὸ παράπτωμα. οὗ δὲ ἐπλεόνασεν ἡ ἁμαρτία, ὑπερεπερίσσευσεν ἡ χάρις,
21 Así como el pecado reinó para muerte, así también la gracia reine por medio de la justicia para vida eterna, por Jesucristo nuestro Señor.
21 that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
21 ἵνα ὥσπερ ἐβασίλευσεν ἡ ἁμαρτία ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ, οὕτω καὶ ἡ χάρις βασιλεύσῃ διὰ δικαιοσύνης εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Romans 5:1: “we have peace” or “let us have peace”?
Most English Bibles read “being justified by faith, we have peace with God.” The Douay-Rheims reads “let us have peace.” The difference in Greek is a single vowel, echomen or echōmen, which sounded alike when read aloud. The oldest manuscripts mostly favour “let us have,” but most scholars and the Patriarchal Text read “we have.” The teaching of the passage is the same either way.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
As the best physicians always take great pains to discover the source of diseases, and go to the very fountain of the mischief, so doth the blessed Paul also.

Concurring with these statements, Paul, speaking to the Romans, declares: "Much more they who receive abundance of grace and righteousness for [eternal] life, shall reign by one, Christ Jesus." It follows from this, that he knew nothing of that Christ who flew away from Jesus; nor did he of the Saviour above, whom they hold to be impassible.
… not then my friend, nor, indeed, afterwards, as true friendship is; for true it is not but in such as Thou bindest together, cleaving unto Thee by that love which is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto us. But yet it was too sweet, being ripened by the fervour of similar studies.

"For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved." "But this way," it will be said, "is strait and narrow." Well, but the former, through which thou hast come, is not strait and narrow only, but even impassable, and full of savage wild beasts.

Moreover one man's sin, even Adam's, had power to bring death to the world; but if by the trespass of the one death reigned over the world, how shall not life much rather reign by the righteousness of the One?
