Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sins:
1 PUES que Cristo ha padecido por nosotros en la carne, vosotros también estad armados del mismo pensamiento: que el que ha padecido en la carne, cesó de pecado;
2 That now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh, not after the desires of men, but according to the will of God.
2 Para que ya el tiempo que queda en carne, viva, no á las concupiscencias de los hombres, sino á la voluntad de Dios.
3 For the time past is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, for them who have walked in riotousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and unlawful worshipping of idols.
3 Porque nos debe bastar que el tiempo pasado de nuestra vida hayamos hecho la voluntad de los Gentiles, cuando conversábamos en lascivias, en concupiscencias, en embriagueces, en glotonerías, en banquetes, y en abominables idolatrías.
4 Wherein they think it strange, that you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness, speaking evil of you.
4 En lo cual les parece cosa extraña que vosotros no corráis con ellos en el mismo desenfrenamiento de disolución, ultrajándoos:
5 Who shall render account to him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
5 Los cuales darán cuenta al que está aparejado para juzgar los vivos y los muertos.
6 For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: that they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh; but may live according to God, in the Spirit.
6 Porque por esto también ha sido predicado el evangelio á los muertos; para que sean juzgados en carne según los hombres, y vivan en espíritu según Dios.
7 But the end of all is at hand. Be prudent therefore, and watch in prayers.
7 Mas el fin de todas las cosas se acerca: sed pues templados, y velad en oración.
8 But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins.
8 Y sobre todo, tened entre vosotros ferviente caridad; porque la caridad cubrirá multitud de pecados.
9 Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring,
9 Hospedaos los unos á los otros sin murmuraciones.
10 As every man hath received grace, ministering the same one to another: as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
10 Cada uno según el don que ha recibido, adminístrelo á los otros, como buenos dispensadores de las diferentes gracias de Dios.
11 If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power, which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.
11 Si alguno habla, [hable] conforme á las palabras de Dios; si alguno ministra, [ministre] conforme á la virtud que Dios suministra: para que en todas cosas sea Dios glorificado por Jesucristo, al cual es gloria é imperio para siempre jamás. Amén.
12 Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try you, as if some new thing happened to you;
12 Carísimos, no os maravilléis cuando sois examinados por fuego, lo cual se hace para vuestra prueba, como si alguna cosa peregrina os aconteciese;
13 But if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
13 Antes bien gozaos en que sois participantes de las aflicciones de Cristo; para que también en la revelación de su gloria os gocéis en triunfo.
14 If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that which is of the honour, glory, and power of God, and that which is his Spirit, resteth upon you.
14 Si sois vituperados en el nombre de Cristo, sois bienaventurados; porque la gloria y el Espíritu de Dios reposan sobre vosotros. Cierto, según ellos, él es blasfemado, mas según vosotros es glorificado.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a railer, or a coveter of other men’s things.
15 Así que, ninguno de vosotros padezca como homicida, ó ladrón, ó malhechor, ó por meterse en negocios ajenos.
16 But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
16 Pero si [alguno padece] como Cristiano, no se avergüence; antes glorifique á Dios en esta parte.
17 For the time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God. And if first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe not the gospel of God?
17 Porque es tiempo de que el juicio comience de la casa de Dios: y si primero [comienza] por nosotros, ¿qué será el fin de aquellos que no obedecen al evangelio de Dios?
18 And if the just man shall scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
18 Y si el justo con dificultad se salva, ¿á dónde aparecerá el infiel y el pecador?
19 Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God, commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator.
19 Y por eso los que son afligidos según la voluntad de Dios, encomiéndenle sus almas, como á fiel Criador, haciendo bien.

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).
Love covers a multitude of sins. Love beareth all things, is long-suffering in all things.
Wherefore, forsaking the vanity of many, and their false doctrines, let us return to the word which has been handed down to us from the beginning; "watching unto prayer," and persevering in fasting; beseeching in our supplications the all-seeing God "not to lead us into temptation," as the Lord has said: "The spirit truly is willing, but the flesh is …
"Love moreover is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." And because it is through sin that we are alienated from the possession of true good, "Love covereth a multitude of sins." So then the Father is Himself the True Origin to the Son, who is the Truth, and the Son is the …

Let us then be imitators of His patience; and if we suffer for His name's sake, let us glorify Him.
Before all, then, confession; then, love: for of charity what is said? "Charity covereth a multitude of sins." Now let us see whether he commendeth charity in regard of the sins which subsequently overtake us: because charity alone extinguisheth sins.
