RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 But we who are stronger must bear with the feebleness of the weak, and not so as to please ourselves.

1 ASÍ que, los que somos más firmes debemos sobrellevar las flaquezas de los flacos, y no agradarnos á nosotros mismos.

2 Each one of you should please his neighbor unto good, for edification.

2 Cada uno de nosotros agrade á su prójimo en bien, á edificación.

3 For even Christ did not please himself, but as it was written: “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell upon me.”

3 Porque Cristo no se agradó á sí mismo; antes bien, como está escrito: Los vituperios de los que te vituperan, cayeron sobre mí.

4 For whatever was written, was written to teach us, so that, through patience and the consolation of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

4 Porque las cosas que antes fueron escritas, para nuestra enseñanza fueron escritas; para que por la paciencia, y por la consolación de las Escrituras, tengamos esperanza.

5 So may the God of patience and solace grant you to be of one mind toward one another, in accord with Jesus Christ,

5 Mas el Dios de la paciencia y de la consolación os dé que entre vosotros seáis unánimes según Cristo Jesús;

6 so that, together with one mouth, you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

6 Para que concordes, á una boca glorifiquéis al Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

7 For this reason, accept one another, just as Christ also has accepted you, in the honor of God.

7 Por tanto, sobrellevaos los unos á los otros, como también Cristo nos sobrellevó, para gloria de Dios.

8 For I declare that Christ Jesus was the minister of circumcision because of the truth of God, so as to confirm the promises to the fathers,

8 Digo, pues, que Cristo Jesús fué hecho ministro de la circuncisión por la verdad de Dios, para confirmar las promesas [hechas] á los padres,

9 and that the Gentiles are to honor God because of his mercy, just as it was written: “Because of this, I will confess you among the Gentiles, O Lord, and I will sing to your name.”

9 Y para que los Gentiles glorifiquen á Dios por la misericordia; como está escrito: Por tanto yo te confesaré entre los Gentiles, y cantaré á tu nombre.

10 And again, he says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, along with his people.”

10 Y otra vez dice: Alegraos, Gentiles, con su pueblo.

11 And again: “All Gentiles, praise the Lord; and all peoples, magnify him.”

11 Y otra vez: Alabad al Señor todos los Gentiles, y magnificadle, todos los pueblos.

12 And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse, and he shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, and in him the Gentiles shall hope.”

12 Y otra vez, dice Isaías: Estará la raíz de Jessé, y el que se levantará á regir los Gentiles: los Gentiles esperarán en él.

13 So may the God of hope fill you with every joy and with peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope and in the virtue of the Holy Spirit.

13 Y el Dios de esperanza os llene de todo gozo y paz creyendo, para que abundéis en esperanza por la virtud del Espíritu Santo.

14 But I am also certain about you, my brothers, that you also have been filled with love, completed with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.

14 Empero cierto estoy yo de vosotros, hermanos míos, que aun vosotros mismos estáis llenos de bondad, llenos de todo conocimiento, de tal manera que podáis amonestaros los unos á los otros.

15 But I have written to you, brothers, more boldly than to the others, as if calling you to mind again, because of the grace which has been given to me from God,

15 Mas os he escrito, hermanos, en parte resueltamente, como amonestándoos por la gracia que de Dios me es dada,

16 so that I may be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, sanctifying the Gospel of God, in order that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and may be sanctified in the Holy Spirit.

16 Para ser ministro de Jesucristo á los Gentiles, ministrando el evangelio de Dios, para que la ofrenda de los Gentiles sea agradable, santificada por el Espíritu Santo.

17 Therefore, I have glory in Christ Jesus before God.

17 Tengo, pues, de qué gloriarme en Cristo Jesús en lo que mira á Dios.

18 So I dare not speak of any of those things which Christ does not effect through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed,

18 Porque no osaría hablar alguna cosa que Cristo no haya hecho por mí para la obediencia de los Gentiles, con la palabra y con las obras,

19 with the power of signs and wonders, by power of the Holy Spirit. For in this way, from Jerusalem, throughout its surroundings, as far as Illyricum, I have replenished the Gospel of Christ.

19 Con potencia de milagros y prodigios, en virtud del Espíritu de Dios: de manera que desde Jerusalem, y por los alrededores hasta Ilírico, he llenado [todo] del evangelio de Cristo.

20 And so I have preached this Gospel, not where Christ was known by name, lest I build upon the foundation of another,

20 Y de esta manera me esforcé á predicar el evangelio, no donde [antes] Cristo fuese nombrado, por no edificar sobre ajeno fundamento:

21 but just as it was written: “Those to whom he was not announced shall perceive, and those who have not heard shall understand.”

21 Sino, como está escrito: A los que no fué anunciado de él, verán: y los que no oyeron, entenderán.

22 Because of this also, I was greatly hindered in coming to you, and I have been prevented until the present time.

22 Por lo cual aun he sido impedido muchas veces de venir á vosotros.

23 Yet truly now, having no other destination in these regions, and having already had a great desire to come to you over the past many years,

23 Mas ahora no teniendo más lugar en estas regiones, y deseando ir á vosotros muchos años há,

24 when I begin to set out on my journey to Spain, I hope that, as I pass by, I may see you, and I may be guided from there by you, after first having borne some fruit among you.

24 Cuando partiere para España, iré á vosotros; porque espero que pasando os veré, y que seré llevado de vosotros allá, si empero antes hubiere gozado de vosotros.

25 But next I will set out for Jerusalem, to minister to the saints.

25 Mas ahora parto para Jerusalem á ministrar á los santos.

26 For those of Macedonia and Achaia have decided to make a collection for those of the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.

26 Porque Macedonia y Acaya tuvieron por bien hacer una colecta para los pobres de los santos que están en Jerusalem.

27 And this has pleased them, because they are in their debt. For, since the Gentiles have become partakers of their spiritual things, they also ought to minister to them in worldly things.

27 Porque les pareció bueno, y son deudores á ellos: porque si los Gentiles han sido hechos participantes de sus bienes espirituales, deben también ellos servirles en los carnales.

28 Therefore, when I have completed this task, and have consigned to them this fruit, I shall set out, by way of you, to Spain.

28 Así que, cuando hubiere concluído esto, y les hubiere consignado este fruto, pasaré por vosotros á España.

29 And I know that when I come to you I shall arrive with an abundance of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ.

29 Y sé que cuando llegue á vosotros, llegaré con abundancia de la bendición del evangelio de Cristo.

30 Therefore, I beg you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Holy Spirit, that you assist me with your prayers to God on my behalf,

30 Ruégoos empero, hermanos, por el Señor nuestro Jesucristo, y por la caridad del Espíritu, que me ayudéis con oraciones por mí á Dios,

31 so that I may be freed from the unfaithful who are in Judea, and so that the oblation of my service may be acceptable to the saints in Jerusalem.

31 Que sea librado de los rebeldes que están en Judea, y que la ofrenda de mi servicio á los santos en Jerusalem sea acepta;

32 So may I come to you with joy, through the will of God, and so may I be refreshed with you.

32 Para que con gozo llegue á vosotros por la voluntad de Dios, y que sea recreado juntamente con vosotros.

33 And may the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

33 Y el Dios de paz sea con todos vosotros. Amén.

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).

Commentary 15:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XXVIII)
Again, he is speaking of Christ's concern for us, still holding to the same topic, and showing what great things He hath done for us, and how "He pleased not Himself." (Rom. xv. 3.) And besides this, there is another point which he makes good, that those of the Gentiles are debtors to a larger amount unto God.
