Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 We which are strong, ought to beare the infirmities of the weake, and not to please our selues.
1 ASÍ que, los que somos más firmes debemos sobrellevar las flaquezas de los flacos, y no agradarnos á nosotros mismos.
2 Therefore let euery man please his neighbour in that that is good to edification.
2 Cada uno de nosotros agrade á su prójimo en bien, á edificación.
3 For Christ also would not please himselfe, but as it is written, The rebukes of them which rebuke thee, fell on 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 whatsoeuer things are written aforetime, are writte for our learning, that we through patience, and comfort of the Scriptures might haue 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 Now the God of patience and consolation giue you that ye be like minded one towards another, according to Christ Iesus,
5 Mas el Dios de la paciencia y de la consolación os dé que entre vosotros seáis unánimes según Cristo Jesús;
6 That ye with one minde, and with one mouth may prayse God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ.
6 Para que concordes, á una boca glorifiquéis al Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
7 Wherefore receiue ye one another, as Christ also receiued vs to the glory of God.
7 Por tanto, sobrellevaos los unos á los otros, como también Cristo nos sobrellevó, para gloria de Dios.
8 Nowe I say, that Iesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision, for the trueth of God, to confirme the promises made vnto 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 let the Gentiles prayse God, for his mercie, as it is written, For this cause I wil confesse thee among the Gentiles, and sing vnto thy 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 againe he saith, Reioyce, ye Gentiles with his people.
10 Y otra vez dice: Alegraos, Gentiles, con su pueblo.
11 And againe, Prayse the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and laude ye him, all people together.
11 Y otra vez: Alabad al Señor todos los Gentiles, y magnificadle, todos los pueblos.
12 And againe Esaias sayth, There shall be a roote of Iesse, and hee that shall rise to reigne ouer the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust.
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 Nowe the God of hope fill you with all ioye, and peace in beleeuing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the holy Ghost.
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 And I my selfe also am perswaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodnes, and filled with all knowledge, and 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 Neuerthelesse, brethren, I haue somewhat boldly after a sort written vnto you, as one that putteth you in remembrance, through the grace that is giuen me of God,
15 Mas os he escrito, hermanos, en parte resueltamente, como amonestándoos por la gracia que de Dios me es dada,
16 That I should be the minister of Iesus Christ toward the Gentiles, ministring the Gospel of God, that the offering vp of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the holy Ghost.
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 I haue therefore whereof I may reioyce in Christ Iesus in those things which pertaine to God.
17 Tengo, pues, de qué gloriarme en Cristo Jesús en lo que mira á Dios.
18 For I dare not speake of any thing, which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient in worde and deede,
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 signes and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God: so that from Hierusalem, and round about vnto Illyricum, I haue caused to abound 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 Yea, so I enforced my selfe to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should haue built on another mans foundation.
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 as it is written, To whome hee was not spoken of, they shall see him, and they that heard not, shall vnderstand him.
21 Sino, como está escrito: A los que no fué anunciado de él, verán: y los que no oyeron, entenderán.
22 Therefore also I haue bene oft let to come vnto you:
22 Por lo cual aun he sido impedido muchas veces de venir á vosotros.
23 But nowe seeing I haue no more place in these quarters, and also haue bene desirous many yeeres agone to come vnto you,
23 Mas ahora no teniendo más lugar en estas regiones, y deseando ir á vosotros muchos años há,
24 When I shall take my iourney into Spaine, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my iourney, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, after that I haue bene somewhat filled with your company.
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 now go I to Hierusalem, to minister vnto the Saints.
25 Mas ahora parto para Jerusalem á ministrar á los santos.
26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia, to make a certaine distribution vnto the poore Saints which are at Hierusalem.
26 Porque Macedonia y Acaya tuvieron por bien hacer una colecta para los pobres de los santos que están en Jerusalem.
27 For it hath pleased them, and their detters are they: for if the Gentiles be made partakers of their spirituall things, their duetie is also to minister vnto them in carnall 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 When I haue therefore performed this, and haue sealed them this fruite, I will passe by you into Spaine.
28 Así que, cuando hubiere concluído esto, y les hubiere consignado este fruto, pasaré por vosotros á España.
29 And I knowe when I come, that I shall come to you with abundance of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ.
29 Y sé que cuando llegue á vosotros, llegaré con abundancia de la bendición del evangelio de Cristo.
30 Also brethren, I beseeche you for our Lord Iesus Christes sake, and for the loue of the spirit, that ye would striue with me by prayers to God for me,
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 That I may be deliuered from them which are disobedient in Iudea, and that my seruice which I haue to doe at Hierusalem, may be accepted of the Saintes,
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 That I may come vnto you with ioy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
32 Para que con gozo llegue á vosotros por la voluntad de Dios, y que sea recreado juntamente con vosotros.
33 Thus 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).
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.

because the Church of Christ hath both strong and weak ones; and cannot be without either strong or weak; whence the Apostle Paul says, "Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak." In that Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God," he represents the strong: but in that he totters, …

… which was produced after the ascension, manifests His equality with the Father; thus saying, "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on my right hand." And Isaiah too saith, "He that riseth up to rule over the Gentiles, in Him shall the Gentiles trust." But how saith he that Bethlehem is "not the least among the princes of Judah?" …

… adoption of sons, our liberty to call God our Father, our being made partakers of the grace of Christ, our being called children of light, our sharing in eternal glory, and, in a word, our being brought into a state of all "fulness of blessing," both in this world and in the world to come, of all the good gifts …
