PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Puesto que Cristo sufrió en su cuerpo, ustedes también deben estar dispuestos a sufrir, porque el que ha sufrido en el cuerpo ha roto con el pecado,
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
1 Χριστοῦ οὖν παθόντος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν σαρκὶ καὶ ὑμεῖς τὴν αὐτὴν ἔννοιαν ὁπλίσασθε, ὅτι ὁ παθὼν [ἐν] σαρκὶ πέπαυται ἁμαρτίας,
2 para que el resto de su vida no la viva siguiendo sus pasiones humanas sino cumpliendo la voluntad de Dios.
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
2 εἰς τὸ μηκέτι ἀνθρώπων ἐπιθυμίαις, ἀλλὰ θελήματι Θεοῦ τὸν ἐπίλοιπον ἐν σαρκὶ βιῶσαι χρόνον.
3 Ya basta que en el pasado ustedes hayan desperdiciado el tiempo haciendo lo que les gusta hacer a los que no creen. Vivían para sus vicios, malos deseos, borracheras y fiestas desenfrenadas, y para adorar a sus ídolos detestables.
3 For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
3 ἀρκετὸς γὰρ ὑμῖν ὁ παρεληλυθὼς χρόνος τοῦ βίου τὸ θέλημα τῶν ἐθνῶν κατεργάσασθαι, πεπορευμένους ἐν ἀσελγείαις, ἐπιθυμίαις, οἰνοφλυγίαις, κώμοις, πότοις καὶ ἀθεμίτοις εἰδωλολατρείαις.
4 A ellos les parece extraño que ustedes ya no se junten con ellos para andar en las mismas inmoralidades y por eso los insultan.
4 They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.
4 ἐν ᾧ ξενίζονται μὴ συντρεχόντων ὑμῶν εἰς τὴν αὐτὴν τῆς ἀσωτίας ἀνάχυσιν, βλασφημοῦντες·
5 Pero ellos tendrán que darle cuentas a Aquel que está preparado para juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos.
5 They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
5 οἳ ἀποδώσουσι λόγον τῷ ἑτοίμως ἔχοντι κρῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς.
6 Por eso también se les predicó el evangelio aun a los muertos, para que, a pesar de haber sido juzgados en este mundo por lo que hicieron en vida, vivan conforme a Dios en el espíritu.
6 For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
6 εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ νεκροῖς εὐηγγελίσθη, ἵνα κριθῶσι μὲν κατὰ ἀνθρώπους σαρκί, ζῶσι δὲ κατὰ Θεὸν πνεύματι.
7 Ya se acerca el fin de todas las cosas. Por tanto, sean serios y responsables en la oración.
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
7 Πάντων δὲ τὸ τέλος ἤγγικε. σωφρονήσατε οὖν καὶ νήψατε εἰς τὰς προσευχάς·
8 Sobre todo, ámense en gran manera unos a otros, porque el amor cubre muchos pecados.
8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
8 πρὸ πάντων δὲ τὴν εἰς ἑαυτοὺς ἀγάπην ἐκτενῆ ἔχοντες, ὅτι [ἡ] ἀγάπη καλύψει πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν·
9 Recíbanse unos a otros en sus casas, sin hablar mal de nadie.
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
9 φιλόξενοι εἰς ἀλλήλους ἄνευ γογγυσμῶν·
10 Cada uno de ustedes ha recibido algún don de Dios; úsenlo para servir a los demás. Sean fieles administradores de los diferentes dones de Dios.
10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
10 ἕκαστος καθὼς ἔλαβε χάρισμα, εἰς ἑαυτοὺς αὐτὸ διακονοῦντες ὡς καλοὶ οἰκονόμοι ποικίλης χάριτος Θεοῦ·
11 El que habla, que lo haga como el que habla las palabras mismas de Dios. El que presta algún servicio, que lo haga como el que tiene la fuerza de Dios para hacerlo. Así, en todo lo que ustedes hagan, Dios será alabado por medio de Jesucristo, a quien le pertenece la gloria y el poder para siempre. Amén.
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
11 εἴ τις λαλεῖ, ὡς λόγια Θεοῦ· εἴ τις διακονεῖ, ὡς ἐξ ἰσχύος, ὡς χορηγεῖ ὁ Θεός· ἵνα ἐν πᾶσι δοξάζηται ὁ Θεὸς διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ᾧ ἐστιν ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν.
12 Queridos hermanos, no se sorprendan del fuego de la prueba por el que están pasando, como si fuera algo extraño.
12 Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
12 Ἀγαπητοί, μὴ ξενίζεσθε τῇ ἐν ὑμῖν πυρώσει πρὸς πειρασμὸν ὑμῖν γινομένῃ, ὡς ξένου ὑμῖν συμβαίνοντος,
13 Al contrario, alégrense de tener parte en los sufrimientos de Cristo, para que también se alegren muchísimo cuando se muestre la gloria de Cristo.
13 But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
13 ἀλλὰ καθὸ κοινωνεῖτε τοῖς τοῦ Χριστοῦ παθήμασι, χαίρετε, ἵνα καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀποκαλύψει τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ χαρῆτε ἀγαλλιώμενοι.
14 Dichosos ustedes si los insultan por causa de Cristo, porque el glorioso Espíritu de Dios está siempre con ustedes.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
14 εἰ ὀνειδίζεσθε ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ, μακάριοι, ὅτι τὸ τῆς δόξης καὶ δυνάμεως καὶ τὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ Πνεῦμα ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἀναπαύεται· κατὰ μὲν αὐτοὺς βλασφημεῖται, κατὰ δὲ ὑμᾶς δοξάζεται.
15 Si alguno de ustedes sufre, que no sea por ser asesino, ladrón o malhechor, ni siquiera por meterse en los asuntos ajenos.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.
15 μὴ γάρ τις ὑμῶν πασχέτω ὡς φονεὺς ἢ κλέπτης ἢ κακοποιὸς ἢ ὡς ἀλλοτριοεπίσκοπος·
16 Pero si alguno sufre por ser cristiano, que no se avergüence, sino que alabe a Dios por llevar el nombre de Cristo.
16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
16 εἰ δὲ ὡς Χριστιανός, μὴ αἰσχυνέσθω, δοξαζέτω δὲ τὸν Θεὸν ἐν τῷ μέρει τούτῳ.
17 Ya es tiempo de que el juicio comience por la propia familia de Dios. Y si comienza por nosotros, ¡imagínense el fin que les espera a los que no obedecen al evangelio de Dios!
17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God?
17 ὅτι ὁ καιρὸς τοῦ ἄρξασθαι τὸ κρῖμα ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ· εἰ δὲ πρῶτον ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν, τί τὸ τέλος τῶν ἀπειθούντων τῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ εὐαγγελίῳ;
18 «Si el justo con dificultad se salva, ¿qué le pasará al malvado y al pecador?».
18 “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
18 καὶ εἰ ὁ δίκαιος μόλις σῴζεται, ὁ ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἁμαρτωλὸς ποῦ φανεῖται;
19 Así pues, los que sufren porque Dios así lo quiere, sigan haciendo el bien y entréguense a su Creador, porque él es fiel.
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
19 ὥστε καὶ οἱ πάσχοντες κατὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὡς πιστῷ κτίστῃ παρατιθέσθωσαν τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν ἐν ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ.

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.
