Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost:
1 VERDAD digo en Cristo, no miento, dándome testimonio mi conciencia en el Espíritu Santo,
2 That I have great sadness, and continual sorrow in my heart.
2 Que tengo gran tristeza y continuo dolor en mi corazón.
3 For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh,
3 Porque deseara yo mismo ser apartado de Cristo por mis hermanos, los que son mis parientes según la carne;
4 Who are Israelites, to whom belongeth the adoption as of children, and the glory, and the testament, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises:
4 Que son israelitas, de los cuales es la adopción, y la gloria, y el pacto, y la data de la ley, y el culto, y las promesas;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen.
5 Cuyos son los padres, y de los cuales es Cristo según la carne, el cual es Dios sobre todas las cosas, bendito por los siglos. Amén.
6 Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel:
6 No empero que la palabra de Dios haya faltado: porque no todos los que son de Israel son Israelitas;
7 Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children; but in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
7 Ni por ser simiente de Abraham, son todos hijos; mas: En Isaac te será llamada simiente.
8 That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh, are the children of God; buy they, that are the children of the promise, are accounted for the seed.
8 Quiere decir: No los que son hijos de la carne, éstos son los hijos de Dios; mas los que son hijos de la promesa, son contados en la generación.
9 For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come; and Sara shall have a son.
9 Porque la palabra de la promesa es esta: Como en este tiempo vendré, y tendrá Sara un hijo.
10 And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father.
10 Y no sólo esto; mas también Rebeca concibiendo de uno, de Isaac nuestro padre,
11 For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God, according to election, might stand,)
11 (Porque no siendo aún nacidos, ni habiendo hecho aún ni bien ni mal, para que el propósito de Dios conforme á la elección, no por las obras sino por el que llama, permaneciese;)
12 Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger.
12 Le fué dicho que el mayor serviría al menor.
13 As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.
13 Como está escrito: A Jacob amé, mas á Esaú aborrecí.
14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid.
14 ¿Pues qué diremos? ¿Que hay injusticia en Dios? En ninguna manera.
15 For he saith to Moses: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy; and I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy.
15 Mas á Moisés dice: Tendré misericordia del que tendré misericordia, y me compadeceré del que me compadeceré.
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
16 Así que no es del que quiere, ni del que corre, sino de Dios que tiene misericordia.
17 For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17 Porque la Escritura dice de Faraón: Que para esto mismo te he levantado, para mostrar en ti mi potencia, y que mi nombre sea anunciado por toda la tierra.
18 Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth.
18 De manera que del que quiere tiene misericordia; y al que quiere, endurece.
19 Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? for who resisteth his will?
19 Me dirás pues: ¿Por qué, pues, se enoja? porque ¿quién resistirá á su voluntad?
20 O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus?
20 Mas antes, oh hombre, ¿quién eres tú, para que alterques con Dios? Dirá el vaso de barro al que le labró: ¿Por qué me has hecho tal?
21 Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
21 ¿O no tiene potestad el alfarero para hacer de la misma masa un vaso para honra, y otro para vergüenza?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction,
22 ¿Y qué, si Dios, queriendo mostrar la ira y hacer notoria su potencia, soportó con mucha mansedumbre los vasos de ira preparados para muerte,
23 That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory?
23 Y para hacer notorias las riquezas de su gloria, [mostrólas] para con los vasos de misericordia que él ha preparado para gloria;
24 Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.
24 Los cuales también ha llamado, [es á saber], á nosotros, no sólo de los Judíos, mas también de los Gentiles?
25 As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy, one that hath obtained mercy.
25 Como también en Oseas dice: Llamaré al que no era mi pueblo, pueblo mío; y á la no amada, amada.
26 And it shall be, in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God.
26 Y será, que en el lugar donde les fué dicho: Vosotros no sois pueblo mío: allí serán llamados hijos del Dios viviente.
27 And Isaias crieth out concerning Israel: If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.
27 También Isaías clama tocante á Israel: Si fuere el número de los hijos de Israel como la arena de la mar, las reliquias serán salvas:
28 For he shall finish his word, and cut it short in justice; because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth.
28 Porque palabra consumadora y abreviadora en justicia, porque palabra abreviada, hará el Señor sobre la tierra.
29 And as Isaias foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been made as Sodom, and we had been like unto Gomorrha.
29 Y como antes dijo Isaías: Si el Señor de los ejércitos no nos hubiera dejado simiente, como Sodoma habríamos venido á ser, y á Gomorra fuéramos semejantes.
30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who followed not after justice, have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.
30 ¿Pues qué diremos? Que los Gentiles que no seguían justicia, han alcanzado la justicia, es á saber, la justicia que es por la fe;
31 But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice.
31 Mas Israel que seguía la ley de justicia, no ha llegado á la ley de justicia.
32 Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.
32 ¿Por qué? Porque [la seguían] no por fe, mas como por las obras de la ley: por lo cual tropezaron en la piedra de tropiezo,
33 As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal; and whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.
33 Como está escrito: He aquí pongo en Sión piedra de tropiezo, y piedra de caída; y aquel que creyere en ella, no será avergonzado.

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).
Did I not seem yesterday to you to have spoken some great and exorbitant things of Paul's love toward Christ? And great indeed they were, too great for any words to express. Yet what you have heard to-day are as far above those things, as those things were above ours.

… saints; and discourse how it is that "this mortal body shall put on immortality, and this corruptible shall put on incorruption;" and proclaim in what sense [God] says, "That is a people who was not a people; and she is beloved who was not beloved;" and in what sense He says that "more are the children of her that was …
For it pleased Thee, O Lord, to take away the reproach of diminution from Jacob, that the elder should serve the younger; and Thou hast called the Gentiles into Thine inheritance.

how did he "take the form of a servant?" how "was the Word made flesh?" and how saith Paul to the Romans, "Of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is God over all?"
