WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 οφειλομεν δε ημεισ οι δυνατοι τα ασθενηματα των αδυνατων βασταζειν και μη εαυτοισ αρεσκειν

1 ASÍ que, los que somos más firmes debemos sobrellevar las flaquezas de los flacos, y no agradarnos á nosotros mismos.

1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

2 εκαστοσ ημων τω πλησιον αρεσκετω εισ το αγαθον προσ οικοδομην

2 Cada uno de nosotros agrade á su prójimo en bien, á edificación.

2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.

3 και γαρ ο χριστοσ ουχ εαυτω ηρεσεν αλλα καθωσ γεγραπται οι ονειδισμοι των ονειδιζοντων σε επεπεσον επ εμε

3 Porque Cristo no se agradó á sí mismo; antes bien, como está escrito: Los vituperios de los que te vituperan, 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 οσα γαρ προεγραφη εισ την ημετεραν διδασκαλιαν προεγραφη ινα δια τησ υπομονησ και δια τησ παρακλησεωσ των γραφων την ελπιδα εχωμεν

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.

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 ο δε θεοσ τησ υπομονησ και τησ παρακλησεωσ δωη υμιν το αυτο φρονειν εν αλληλοισ κατα χριστον ιησουν

5 Mas el Dios de la paciencia y de la consolación os dé que entre vosotros seáis unánimes según Cristo Jesús;

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 ινα ομοθυμαδον εν ενι στοματι δοξαζητε τον θεον και πατερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου

6 Para que concordes, á una boca glorifiquéis al Dios y 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 διο προσλαμβανεσθε αλληλουσ καθωσ και ο χριστοσ προσελαβετο υμασ εισ δοξαν θεου

7 Por tanto, sobrellevaos los unos á los otros, como también Cristo nos sobrellevó, para gloria de Dios.

7 Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.

8 λεγω δε χριστον ιησουν διακονον γεγενησθαι περιτομησ υπερ αληθειασ θεου εισ το βεβαιωσαι τασ επαγγελιασ των πατερων

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,

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 τα δε εθνη υπερ ελεουσ δοξασαι τον θεον καθωσ γεγραπται δια τουτο εξομολογησομαι σοι εν εθνεσιν και τω ονοματι σου ψαλω

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.

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 και παλιν λεγει ευφρανθητε εθνη μετα του λαου αυτου

10 Y otra vez dice: Alegraos, Gentiles, con su pueblo.

10 Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”

11 και παλιν αινειτε τον κυριον παντα τα εθνη και επαινεσατε αυτον παντεσ οι λαοι

11 Y otra vez: Alabad al Señor todos los Gentiles, y magnificadle, todos los pueblos.

11 Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”

12 και παλιν ησαιασ λεγει εσται η ριζα του ιεσσαι και ο ανισταμενοσ αρχειν εθνων επ αυτω εθνη ελπιουσιν

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.

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 ο δε θεοσ τησ ελπιδοσ πληρωσαι υμασ πασησ χαρασ και ειρηνησ εν τω πιστευειν εισ το περισσευειν υμασ εν τη ελπιδι εν δυναμει πνευματοσ αγιου

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.

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 πεπεισμαι δε αδελφοι μου και αυτοσ εγω περι υμων οτι και αυτοι μεστοι εστε αγαθωσυνησ πεπληρωμενοι πασησ γνωσεωσ δυναμενοι και αλλουσ νουθετειν

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.

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 τολμηροτερον δε εγραψα υμιν αδελφοι απο μερουσ ωσ επαναμιμνησκων υμασ δια την χαριν την δοθεισαν μοι υπο του θεου

15 Mas os he escrito, hermanos, en parte resueltamente, como amonestándoos por la gracia que de Dios me es dada,

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 εισ το ειναι με λειτουργον ιησου χριστου εισ τα εθνη ιερουργουντα το ευαγγελιον του θεου ινα γενηται η προσφορα των εθνων ευπροσδεκτοσ ηγιασμενη εν πνευματι αγιω

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.

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 εχω ουν καυχησιν εν χριστω ιησου τα προσ τον θεον

17 Tengo, pues, de qué gloriarme en Cristo Jesús en lo que mira á Dios.

17 I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.

18 ου γαρ τολμησω λαλειν τι ων ου κατειργασατο χριστοσ δι εμου εισ υπακοην εθνων λογω και εργω

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,

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 εν δυναμει σημειων και τερατων εν δυναμει πνευματοσ θεου ωστε με απο ιερουσαλημ και κυκλω μεχρι του ιλλυρικου πεπληρωκεναι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου

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.

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 ουτωσ δε φιλοτιμουμενον ευαγγελιζεσθαι ουχ οπου ωνομασθη χριστοσ ινα μη επ αλλοτριον θεμελιον οικοδομω

20 Y de esta manera me esforcé á predicar el evangelio, no donde [antes] Cristo fuese nombrado, por no edificar sobre ajeno fundamento:

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 αλλα καθωσ γεγραπται οισ ουκ ανηγγελη περι αυτου οψονται και οι ουκ ακηκοασιν συνησουσιν

21 Sino, como está escrito: A los que no fué anunciado de él, verán: y los que no oyeron, entenderán.

21 But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”

22 διο και ενεκοπτομην τα πολλα του ελθειν προσ υμασ

22 Por lo cual aun he sido impedido muchas veces de venir á vosotros.

22 Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,

23 νυνι δε μηκετι τοπον εχων εν τοισ κλιμασιν τουτοισ επιποθιαν δε εχων του ελθειν προσ υμασ απο πολλων ετων

23 Mas ahora no teniendo más lugar en estas regiones, y deseando ir á vosotros muchos años há,

23 but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,

24 ωσ εαν πορευωμαι εισ την σπανιαν ελευσομαι προσ υμασ ελπιζω γαρ διαπορευομενοσ θεασασθαι υμασ και υφ υμων προπεμφθηναι εκει εαν υμων πρωτον απο μερουσ εμπλησθω

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.

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 νυνι δε πορευομαι εισ ιερουσαλημ διακονων τοισ αγιοισ

25 Mas ahora parto para Jerusalem á ministrar á los santos.

25 But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

26 ευδοκησαν γαρ μακεδονια και αχαια κοινωνιαν τινα ποιησασθαι εισ τουσ πτωχουσ των αγιων των εν ιερουσαλημ

26 Porque Macedonia y Acaya tuvieron por bien hacer una colecta para los pobres de los santos que están en Jerusalem.

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 ευδοκησαν γαρ και οφειλεται αυτων εισιν ει γαρ τοισ πνευματικοισ αυτων εκοινωνησαν τα εθνη οφειλουσιν και εν τοισ σαρκικοισ λειτουργησαι αυτοισ

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.

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 τουτο ουν επιτελεσασ και σφραγισαμενοσ αυτοισ τον καρπον τουτον απελευσομαι δι υμων εισ την σπανιαν

28 Así que, cuando hubiere concluído esto, y les hubiere consignado este fruto, pasaré por vosotros á 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 οιδα δε οτι ερχομενοσ προσ υμασ εν πληρωματι ευλογιασ του ευαγγελιου του χριστου ελευσομαι

29 Y sé que cuando llegue á vosotros, llegaré con abundancia de la bendición del evangelio de Cristo.

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 παρακαλω δε υμασ αδελφοι δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου και δια τησ αγαπησ του πνευματοσ συναγωνισασθαι μοι εν ταισ προσευχαισ υπερ εμου προσ τον θεον

30 Ruégoos empero, hermanos, por el Señor nuestro Jesucristo, y por la caridad del Espíritu, que me ayudéis con oraciones por mí á Dios,

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 ινα ρυσθω απο των απειθουντων εν τη ιουδαια και ινα η διακονια μου η εισ ιερουσαλημ ευπροσδεκτοσ γενηται τοισ αγιοισ

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;

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 ινα εν χαρα ελθω προσ υμασ δια θεληματοσ θεου και συναναπαυσωμαι υμιν

32 Para que con gozo llegue á vosotros por la voluntad de Dios, y que sea recreado juntamente con vosotros.

32 that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.

33 ο δε θεοσ τησ ειρηνησ μετα παντων υμων αμην

33 Y el Dios de paz sea con todos vosotros. Amén.

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).

Commentary 15:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XXVIII)
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.
