WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Los que estamos plenamente convencidos de lo que hacemos, en vez de hacer sólo lo que queremos, debemos ayudar a quienes son débiles.
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Cada uno debe agradar a su prójimo, y hacer cuanto contribuya al bien y a la edificación de su fe.
2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
3 Ni siquiera Cristo trató de complacerse. Como está escrito: «Los insultos de quienes te ofendían cayeron sobre mí».
3 For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
4 De hecho, todo lo que fue escrito hace tiempo se escribió para enseñarnos, a fin de que, con el consuelo y la constancia que las Escrituras nos dan, mantengamos la esperanza.
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5 ¡Que Dios, que da aliento y perseverancia, les ayude a vivir juntos en armonía, tal como Cristo nos dio el ejemplo!
5 Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
6 ¡Y que podamos así, juntos y a una voz, glorificar a Dios, el Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo!
6 that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Así que, para gloria de Dios, trátense en la iglesia con el mismo afecto con que Cristo los ha recibido.
7 Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.
8 Recuerden que Jesucristo vino a demostrar que Dios es fiel a las promesas dadas a los patriarcas, y por eso les sirvió a los judíos.
8 Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
9 Recuerden que él vino también para que los gentiles glorifiquen a Dios por sus mercedes hacia ellos. Así está escrito: «Te alabaré entre las naciones, cantaré himnos a tu nombre».
9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles and sing to your name.”
10 Y en otro lugar exclama: «Naciones, alégrense juntamente con el pueblo de Dios».
10 Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
11 Y además: «Alaben al Señor, todas las naciones; todos los pueblos canten alabanzas».
11 Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
12 Y el profeta Isaías añade: «Habrá un heredero en la familia de Isaí y reinará sobre las naciones; en él depositarán los pueblos su esperanza».
12 Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
13 Hermanos míos, mi deseo es que el Dios que les concedió esperanza los inunde siempre de felicidad y paz al creer en él. Y le pido a Dios que los haga rebosar de esperanza por el poder del Espíritu Santo.
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 Sé que ustedes son sabios y bondadosos, hermanos míos, y que están capacitados para enseñarse unos a otros.
14 I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
15 Sin embargo, he sido bien franco sobre algunos asuntos, a manera de recordatorio. Me he atrevido a hacerlo, porque Dios me concedió su bondad
15 But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,
16 para ser servidor de Cristo para bien de los gentiles. Mi deber sacerdotal es llevarles el evangelio de Dios, a fin de presentar a los gentiles ante Dios como una ofrenda que a él le agrada, porque el Espíritu Santo la ha purificado.
16 that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Por eso me siento orgulloso, en Cristo Jesús, de mi servicio a Dios.
17 I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
18 No me atrevería a hablar de otra cosa sino de lo que Cristo ha hecho por medio de mí para que los gentiles obedezcan a Dios. Lo he hecho con mis palabras y con el ejemplo de mi vida.
18 For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
19 También por medio de los milagros y señales poderosas que he realizado mediante el poder del Espíritu de Dios. He estado predicando el evangelio de Cristo por todas partes, desde Jerusalén hasta Iliria.
19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;
20 Siempre ha sido mi propósito predicar, no donde ya otros lo hayan hecho, sino donde no conozcan a Cristo. No me gusta edificar sobre un fundamento que otros hayan puesto.
20 yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.
21 Más bien, he hecho lo que está escrito: «Quienes nunca antes habían escuchado de él lo verán; y entenderán los que no habían oído hablar de él».
21 But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”
22 En realidad, por eso me he demorado tanto en ir a visitarlos.
22 Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
23 Pero al fin, tras años de espera, ya he terminado mi trabajo por estos lugares y puedo ir a verlos.
23 but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
24 Estoy pensando ir a España; cuando lo haga, pasaré por Roma y tendré el gusto de estar con ustedes algún tiempo, tras lo cual espero que me ayuden a continuar mi viaje.
24 whenever I travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.
25 Pero antes tengo que ir a Jerusalén a llevar la ofrenda que se ha recogido para los hermanos.
25 But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
26 Los cristianos de Macedonia y Acaya hicieron una colecta de dinero para los hermanos pobres de Jerusalén.
26 For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.
27 Ellos lo han hecho de buena voluntad, aunque en realidad estaban obligados a hacerlo, porque si los gentiles han disfrutado de las bendiciones espirituales que recibieron de los judíos, lo menos que pueden hacer en reciprocidad es ofrecerles ayuda material.
27 Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in material things.
28 Tan pronto como les entregue el dinero, llegaré a verlos a ustedes de paso a España.
28 When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
29 Estoy seguro de que cuando vaya, el Señor les enviará conmigo grandes bendiciones.
29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.
30 En nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y por el amor que el Espíritu Santo ha puesto en ustedes, les ruego que se unan a mí en esta lucha y que oren a Dios por mi trabajo.
30 Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
31 Pidan que el Señor me proteja, en Jerusalén, de los que no son cristianos. Oren para que los cristianos de allí acepten el dinero que les llevo.
31 that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
32 Entonces, Dios mediante, podré visitarlos a ustedes con el corazón alegre y descansar entre ustedes por un tiempo.
32 that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
33 ¡Que el Dios de paz esté con todos ustedes! Así sea.
33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

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?" …
