RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And I commend to you Phebe, our sister, who is in the ministry of the church, that is in Cenchrae:
1 ENCOMIÉNDOOS empero á Febe nuestra hermana, la cual es diaconisa de la iglesia que está en Cencreas:
2 That you receive her in the Lord as becometh saints; and that you assist her in whatsoever business she shall have need of you. For she also hath assisted many, and myself also.
2 Que la recibáis en el Señor, como es digno á los santos, y que la ayudéis en cualquiera cosa en que os hubiere menester: porque ella ha ayudado á muchos, y á mí mismo.
3 Salute Prisca and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus,
3 Saludad á Priscila y á Aquila, mis coadjutores en Cristo Jesús;
4 (Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not I only give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles,)
4 (Que pusieron sus cuellos por mi vida: á los cuales no doy gracias yo solo, mas aun todas las iglesias de los Gentiles;)
5 And the church which is in their house. Salute Epenetus, my beloved: who is the firstfruits of Asia in Christ.
5 Asimismo á la iglesia de su casa. Saludad á Epeneto, amado mío, que es las primicias de Acaya en Cristo.
6 Salute Mary, who hath laboured much among you.
6 Saludad á María, la cual ha trabajado mucho con vosotros.
7 Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and fellow prisoners: who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
7 Saludad á Andrónico y á Junia, mis parientes, y mis compañeros en la cautividad, los que son insignes entre los apóstoles; los cuales también fueron antes de mí en Cristo.
8 Salute Ampliatus, most beloved to me in the Lord.
8 Saludad á Amplias, amado mío en el Señor.
9 Salute Urbanus, our helper in Christ Jesus, and Stachys, my beloved.
9 Saludad á Urbano, nuestro ayudador en Cristo Jesús, y á Stachîs, amado mío.
10 Salute Apelles, approved in Christ.
10 Saludad á Apeles, probado en Cristo. Saludad á los que son de Aristóbulo.
11 Salute them that are of Aristobulus’ household. Salute Herodian, my kinsman. Salute them that are of Narcissus’ household, who are in the Lord.
11 Saludad á Herodión, mi pariente. Saludad á los que son de [la casa de] Narciso, los que están en el Señor.
12 Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute Persis, the dearly beloved, who hath much laboured in the Lord.
12 Saludad á Trifena y á Trifosa, las cuales trabajan en el Señor. Saludad á Pérsida amada, la cual ha trabajado mucho en el Señor.
13 Salute Rufus, elect in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
13 Saludad á Rufo, escogido en el Señor, y á su madre y mía.
14 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren that are with them.
14 Saludad á Asíncrito, y á Flegonte, á Hermas, á Patrobas, á Hermes, y á los hermanos que están con ellos.
15 Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympias; and all the saints that are with them.
15 Saludad á Filólogo y á Julia, á Nereo y á su hermana, y á Olimpas, y á todos los santos que están con ellos.
16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.
16 Saludaos los unos á los otros con ósculo santo. Os saludan todas las iglesias de Cristo.
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them who make dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them.
17 Y os ruego hermanos, que miréis los que causan disensiones y escándalos contra la doctrina que vosotros habéis aprendido; y apartaos de ellos.
18 For they that are such, serve not Christ our Lord, but their own belly; and by pleasing speeches and good words, seduce the hearts of the innocent.
18 Porque los tales no sirven al Señor nuestro Jesucristo, sino á sus vientres; y con suaves palabras y bendiciones engañan los corazones de los simples.
19 For your obedience is published in every place. I rejoice therefore in you. But I would have you to be wise in good, and simple in evil.
19 Porque vuestra obediencia ha venido á ser notoria á todos; así que me gozo de vosotros; mas quiero que seáis sabios en el bien, y simples en el mal.
20 And the God of peace crush Satan under your feet speedily. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
20 Y el Dios de paz quebrantará presto á Satanás debajo de vuestros pies. La gracia del Señor nuestro Jesucristo [sea] con vosotros.
21 Timothy, my fellow labourer, saluteth you, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
21 Os saludan Timoteo, mi coadjutor, y Lucio y Jasón y Sosipater, mis parientes.
22 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
22 Yo Tercio, que escribí la epístola, os saludo en el Señor.
23 Caius, my host, and the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, saluteth you, and Quartus, a brother.
23 Salúdaos Gayo, mi huésped, y de toda la iglesia. Salúdaos Erasto, tesorero de la ciudad, y el hermano Cuarto.
24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
24 La gracia del Señor nuestro Jesucristo sea con todos vosotros. Amén.
25 Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret from eternity,
25 Y al que puede confirmaros según mi evangelio y la predicación de Jesucristo, según la revelación del misterio encubierto desde tiempos eternos,
26 (Which now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the precept of the eternal God, for the obedience of faith,) known among all nations;
26 Mas manifestado ahora, y por las Escrituras de los profetas, según el mandamiento del Dios eterno, declarado á todas las gentes para que obedezcan á la fe;
27 To God the only wise, through Jesus Christ, to whom be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
27 Al solo Dios sabio, sea gloria por Jesucristo para siempre. Amén. Fué escrita de Corinto á los Romanos, [enviada] por [medio de] Febe, diaconisa de la iglesia de Cencreas.

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).

  1. Commentary 16:5 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XXXI)

    I Think that many even of those who have the appearance of being extremely good men, hasten over this part of the Epistle as superfluous, and having no great weight in it. And I think that the same befalls them in regard to the genealogy that is in the Gospel.

  2. Quotes verse 16:18 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXIII)

    … for them?" That we might watch, and be ever prepared for conflict, guarding against our disguised as well as against our open enemies: which kind indeed Paul also was intimating, when he said, that "by their good words they deceive the hearts of the simple." Let us not be troubled therefore, when we see many such even now.
