Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 Now then there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus, which walke not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
1 AHORA pues, ninguna condenación hay para los que están en Cristo Jesús, los que no andan conforme á la carne, mas conforme al espíritu.
2 For the Lawe of the Spirite of life, which is in Christ Iesus, hath freed mee from the lawe of sinne and of death.
2 Porque la ley del Espíritu de vida en Cristo Jesús me ha librado de la ley del pecado y de la muerte.
3 For (that that was impossible to ye Lawe, in as much as it was weake, because of ye flesh) God sending his owne Sonne, in ye similitude of sinful flesh, and for sinne, condened sinne in the flesh,
3 Porque lo que era imposible á la ley, por cuanto era débil por la carne, Dios enviando á su Hijo en semejanza de carne de pecado, y á causa del pecado, condenó al pecado en la carne;
4 That that righteousnes of the Law might be fulfilled in vs, which walke not after ye flesh, but after the Spirit.
4 Para que la justicia de la ley fuese cumplida en nosotros, que no andamos conforme á la carne, mas conforme al espíritu.
5 For they that are after the flesh, sauour the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
5 Porque los que viven conforme á la carne, de las cosas que son de la carne se ocupan; mas los que conforme al espíritu, de las cosas del espíritu.
6 For the wisedome of the flesh is death: but the wisedome of the Spirit is life and peace,
6 Porque la intención de la carne es muerte; mas la intención del espíritu, vida y paz:
7 Because the wisedome of the flesh is enimitie against God: for it is not subiect to the Lawe of God, neither in deede can be.
7 Por cuanto la intención de la carne es enemistad contra Dios; porque no se sujeta á la ley de Dios, ni tampoco puede.
8 So then they that are in the flesh, can not please God.
8 Así que, los que están en la carne no pueden agradar á Dios.
9 Now ye are not in the flesh, but in ye Spirit, because ye spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any man hath not ye Spirit of Christ, ye same is not his.
9 Mas vosotros no estáis en la carne, sino en el espíritu, si es que el Espíritu de Dios mora en vosotros. Y si alguno no tiene el Espíritu de Cristo, el tal no es de él.
10 And if Christ bee in you, the body is dead, because of sinne: but the Spirite is life for righteousnesse sake.
10 Empero si Cristo está en vosotros, el cuerpo á la verdad está muerto á causa del pecado; mas el espíritu vive á causa de la justicia.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised vp Iesus from the dead, dwell in you, he that raised vp Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortall bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
11 Y si el Espíritu de aquel que levantó de los muertos á Jesús mora en vosotros, el que levantó á Cristo Jesús de los muertos, vivificará también vuestros cuerpos mortales por su Espíritu que mora en vosotros.
12 Therefore brethren, wee are detters not to the flesh, to liue after the flesh:
12 Así que, hermanos, deudores somos, no á la carne, para que vivamos conforme á la carne:
13 For if ye liue after the flesh, ye shall die: but if yee mortifie the deedes of the body by the Spirit, ye shall liue.
13 Porque si viviereis conforme á la carne, moriréis; mas si por el espíritu mortificáis las obras de la carne, viviréis.
14 For as many as are ledde by the Spirit of God, they are the sonnes of God.
14 Porque todos los que son guiados por el Espíritu de Dios, los tales son hijos de Dios.
15 For ye haue not receiued the Spirit of bodage, to feare againe: but ye haue receiued the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father.
15 Porque no habéis recibido el espíritu de servidumbre para [estar] otra vez en temor; mas habéis recibido el espíritu de adopción, por el cual clamamos, Abba, Padre.
16 The same Spirit beareth witnesse with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
16 Porque el mismo Espíritu da testimonio á nuestro espíritu que somos hijos de Dios.
17 If we be children, we are also heires, euen the heires of God, and heires annexed with Christ: if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
17 Y si hijos, también herederos; herederos de Dios, y coherederos de Cristo; si empero padecemos juntamente [con él], para que juntamente [con él] seamos glorificados.
18 For I count that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vnto vs.
18 Porque tengo por cierto que lo que en este tiempo se padece, no es de comparar con la gloria venidera que en nosotros ha de ser manifestada.
19 For the feruent desire of the creature waiteth when the sonnes of God shalbe reueiled,
19 Porque el continuo anhelar de las criaturas espera la manifestación de los hijos de Dios.
20 Because the creature is subiect to vanitie, not of it owne will, but by reason of him, which hath subdued it vnder hope,
20 Porque las criaturas sujetas fueron á vanidad, no de grado, mas por causa del que las sujetó con esperanza,
21 Because the creature also shall be deliuered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious libertie of the sonnes of God.
21 Que también las mismas criaturas serán libradas de la servidumbre de corrupción en la libertad gloriosa de los hijos de Dios.
22 For we knowe that euery creature groneth with vs also, and trauaileth in paine together vnto this present.
22 Porque sabemos que todas las criaturas gimen á una, y á una están de parto hasta ahora.
23 And not onely the creature, but we also which haue the first fruites of the Spirit, euen we doe sigh in our selues, waiting for the adoption, euen the redemption of our body.
23 Y no sólo ellas, mas también nosotros mismos, que tenemos las primicias del Espíritu, nosotros también gemimos dentro de nosotros mismos, esperando la adopción, [es á saber], la redención de nuestro cuerpo.
24 For we are saued by hope: but hope that is seene, is not hope: for how can a man hope for that which he seeth?
24 Porque en esperanza somos salvos; mas la esperanza que se ve, no es esperanza; porque lo que alguno ve, ¿á qué esperarlo?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, we doe with patience abide for it.
25 Empero si lo que no vemos esperamos, por paciencia esperamos.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we knowe not what to pray as wee ought: but the Spirit it selfe maketh request for vs with sighs, which cannot be expressed.
26 Y asimismo también el Espíritu ayuda nuestra flaqueza: porque qué hemos de pedir como conviene, no lo sabemos; sino que el mismo Espíritu pide por nosotros con gemidos indecibles.
27 But he that searcheth the heartes, knoweth what is the meaning of the Spirit: for he maketh request for ye Saints, according to the wil of God.
27 Mas el que escudriña los corazones, sabe cuál es el intento del Espíritu, porque conforme á [la voluntad de] Dios, demanda por los santos.
28 Also we knowe that all thinges worke together for the best vnto them that loue God, euen to them that are called of his purpose.
28 Y sabemos que á los que á Dios aman, todas las cosas les ayudan á bien, [es á saber], á los que conforme al propósito son llamados.
29 For those which hee knewe before, he also predestinate to bee made like to the image of his Sonne, that hee might be the first borne among many brethren.
29 Porque á los que antes conoció, también predestinó para que fuesen hechos conformes á la imagen de su Hijo, para que él sea el primogénito entre muchos hermanos;
30 Moreouer whom he predestinate, them also he called, and whom he called, them also he iustified, and whom he iustified, them he also glorified.
30 Y á los que predestinó, á éstos también llamó; y á los que llamó, á éstos también justificó; y á los que justificó, á éstos también glorificó.
31 What shall we then say to these thinges? If God be on our side, who can be against vs?
31 ¿Pues qué diremos á esto? Si Dios por nosotros, ¿quién contra nosotros?
32 Who spared not his owne Sonne, but gaue him for vs all to death, how shall he not with him giue vs all things also?
32 El que aun á su propio Hijo no perdonó, antes le entregó por todos nosotros, ¿cómo no nos dará también con él todas las cosas?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen? it is God that iustifieth,
33 ¿Quién acusará á los escogidos de Dios? Dios es el que justifica.
34 Who shall condemne? it is Christ which is dead, yea, or rather, which is risen againe, who is also at the right hand of God, and maketh request also for vs.
34 ¿Quién es el que condenará? Cristo es el que murió; más aún, el que también resucitó, quien además está á la diestra de Dios, el que también intercede por nosotros.
35 Who shall separate vs from the loue of Christ? shall tribulation or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sworde?
35 ¿Quién nos apartará del amor de Cristo? tribulación? ó angustia? ó persecución? ó hambre? ó desnudez? ó peligro? ó cuchillo?
36 As it is written, For thy sake are we killed all day long: we are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.
36 Como está escrito: Por causa de ti somos muertos todo el tiempo: somos estimados como ovejas de matadero.
37 Neuerthelesse, in all these thinges we are more then coquerours through him that loued vs.
37 Antes, en todas estas cosas hacemos más que vencer por medio de aquel que nos amó.
38 For I am perswaded that neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
38 Por lo cual estoy cierto que ni la muerte, ni la vida, ni ángeles, ni principados, ni potestades, ni lo presente, ni lo por venir,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shalbe able to separate vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesus our Lord.
39 Ni lo alto, ni lo bajo, ni ninguna criatura nos podrá apartar del amor de Dios, que es en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro.

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).
After showing how great the reward of a spiritual life is, and that it maketh Christ to dwell in us, and that it quickeneth our mortal bodies, and wingeth them to heaven, and rendereth the way of virtue easier, he next fitly introduces an exhortation to this purpose.

… by the prophet and by Paul, of whom the apostle, calling to mind the Scripture, says in the Epistle addressed to the Romans, "As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are counted as sheep for the slaughter." But here the expression "all the day long" is put for all this time during …
They would perchance have been troubled, and have vomited it forth, and Thou wouldest hear them when they cried unto Thee; for by a true death in the flesh He died for us, who now maketh intercession for us with Thee.

… when he saith, "There is therefore no condemnation now to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit: for the law of the Spirit of life hath made me free from the law of sin and death."

Make ready then the vessel of thy soul, that thou mayest become a son of God, and an heir of God, and joint-heir with Christ; if, indeed, thou art preparing thyself that thou mayest receive; if thou art drawing nigh in faith that thou mayest be made faithful; if of set purpose thou art putting off the old man.
