WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 παρακαλω ουν υμας, αδελφοι, δια των οικτιρμων του θεου, παραστησαι τα σωματα υμων θυσιαν ζωσαν, αγιαν, ευαρεστον τω θεω, την λογικην λατρειαν υμων,
1 ASÍ que, hermanos, os ruego por las misericordias de Dios, que presentéis vuestros cuerpos en sacrificio vivo, santo, agradable á Dios, [que es] vuestro racional culto.
1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
2 και μη συσχηματιζεσθαι τω αιωνι τουτω, αλλα μεταμορφουσθαι τη ανακαινωσει του νοος υμων, εις το δοκιμαζειν υμας τι το θελημα του θεου, το αγαθον και ευαρεστον και τελειον.
2 Y no os conforméis á este siglo; mas reformaos por la renovación de vuestro entendimiento, para que experimentéis cuál sea la buena voluntad de Dios, agradable y perfecta.
2 Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
3 λεγω γαρ δια της χαριτος της δοθεισης μοι παντι τω οντι εν υμιν, μη υπερφρονειν παρ ο δει φρονειν, αλλα φρονειν εις το σωφρονειν, εκαστω ως ο θεος εμερισεν μετρον πιστεως.
3 Digo pues por la gracia que me es dada, á cada cual que está entre vosotros, que no tenga más alto concepto de sí que el que debe tener, sino que piense de sí con templanza, conforme á la medida de fe que Dios repartió á cada uno.
3 For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
4 καθαπερ γαρ εν ενι σωματι μελη πολλα εχομεν, τα δε μελη παντα ου την αυτην εχει πραξιν,
4 Porque de la manera que en un cuerpo tenemos muchos miembros, empero todos los miembros no tienen la misma operación;
4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,
5 ουτως οι πολλοι εν σωμα εσμεν εν χριστω, ο δε καθ εις αλληλων μελη.
5 Así muchos somos un cuerpo en Cristo, mas todos miembros los unos de los otros.
5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
6 εχοντες δε χαρισματα κατα την χαριν την δοθεισαν ημιν διαφορα, ειτε προφητειαν, κατα την αναλογιαν της πιστεως,
6 De manera que, teniendo diferentes dones según la gracia que nos es dada, si [el de] profecía, [úsese] conforme á la medida de la fe;
6 having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
7 ειτε διακονιαν, εν τη διακονια, ειτε ο διδασκων, εν τη διδασκαλια,
7 O si ministerio, en servir; ó el que enseña, en doctrina;
7 or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
8 ειτε ο παρακαλων, εν τη παρακλησει, ο μεταδιδους, εν απλοτητι, ο προισταμενος, εν σπουδη, ο ελεων, εν ιλαροτητι.
8 El que exhorta, en exhortar; el que reparte, [hágalo] en simplicidad; el que preside, con solicitud; el que hace misericordia, con alegría.
8 or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 η αγαπη ανυποκριτος. αποστυγουντες το πονηρον, κολλωμενοι τω αγαθω,
9 El amor sea sin fingimiento: aborreciendo lo malo, llegándoos á lo bueno;
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
10 τη φιλαδελφια εις αλληλους φιλοστοργοι, τη τιμη αλληλους προηγουμενοι,
10 Amándoos los unos á los otros con caridad fraternal; previniéndoos con honra los unos á los otros;
10 In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,
11 τη σπουδη μη οκνηροι, τω πνευματι ζεοντες, τω κυριω δουλευοντες,
11 En el cuidado no perezosos; ardientes en espíritu; sirviendo al Señor;
11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
12 τη ελπιδι χαιροντες, τη θλιψει υπομενοντες, τη προσευχη προσκαρτερουντες,
12 Gozosos en la esperanza; sufridos en la tribulación; constantes en la oración;
12 rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
13 ταις χρειαις των αγιων κοινωνουντες, την φιλοξενιαν διωκοντες.
13 Comunicando á las necesidades de los santos; siguiendo la hospitalidad.
13 contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.
14 ευλογειτε τους διωκοντας υμας, ευλογειτε και μη καταρασθε.
14 Bendecid á los que os persiguen: bendecid, y no maldigáis.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.
15 χαιρειν μετα χαιροντων και κλαιειν μετα κλαιοντων.
15 Gozaos con los que se gozan: llorad con los que lloran.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
16 το αυτο εις αλληλους φρονουντες. μη τα υψηλα φρονουντες, αλλα τοις ταπεινοις συναπαγομενοι. μη γινεσθε φρονιμοι παρ εαυτοις.
16 Unánimes entre vosotros: no altivos, mas acomodándoos á los humildes. No seáis sabios en vuestra opinión.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.
17 μηδενι κακον αντι κακου αποδιδοντες. προνοουμενοι καλα ενωπιον παντων ανθρωπων·
17 No paguéis á nadie mal por mal; procurad lo bueno delante de todos los hombres.
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.
18 ει δυνατον, το εξ υμων μετα παντων ανθρωπων ειρηνευοντες.
18 Si se puede hacer, cuanto está en vosotros, tened paz con todos los hombres.
18 If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
19 μη εαυτους εκδικουντες, αγαπητοι, αλλα δοτε τοπον τη οργη· γεγραπται γαρ· εμοι εκδικησις, εγω ανταποδωσω, λεγει κυριος.
19 No os venguéis vosotros mismos, amados míos; antes dad lugar á la ira; porque escrito está: Mía es la venganza: yo pagaré, dice el Señor.
19 Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”
20 εαν ουν πεινα ο εχθρος σου, ψωμιζε αυτον, εαν διψα, ποτιζε αυτον· τουτο γαρ ποιων ανθρακας πυρος σωρευσεις επι την κεφαλην αυτου.
20 Así que, si tu enemigo tuviere hambre, dale de comer; si tuviere sed, dale de beber: que haciendo esto, ascuas de fuego amontonas sobre su cabeza.
20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 μη νικω υπο του κακου, αλλα νικα εν τω αγαθω το κακον.
21 No seas vencido de lo malo; mas vence con el bien el mal.
21 Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

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 discoursing at large upon the love of God toward man, and pointing out His unspeakable concern for us, and unutterable goodness, which cannot even be searched into, he next puts it forward with a view of persuading those who have received the benefit to exhibit a conversation worthy of the gift.

Why do we divide and tear to pieces the members of Christ, and raise up strife against our own body, and have reached such a height of madness as to forget that "we are members one of another?" Remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, how He said, "Woe to that man [by whom offences come]!
… pride, nor should we tempt God, but should feel humility in all things, and have ready to hand [this saying], "Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God." As also the apostle taught, saying, "Minding not high things, but consenting to things of low estate;" that we should neither be ensnared with riches, nor mundane glory, nor present fancy, but …
… this custom had it been forbidden by another whom she loved not as Ambrose, whom, out of regard for my salvation, she loved most dearly; and he loved her truly, on account of her most religious conversation, whereby, in good works so "fervent in spirit," she frequented the church; so that he would often, when he saw me, burst forth …

When we do so as avenging ourselves: which Paul also forbidding, said "Avenge not yourselves, dearly beloved, but rather give place unto wrath." When we are contending for riches: yea, for this hath he also taken away, where he saith, "Why do ye not rather take wrong?
