RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

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.

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2 Porque la ley del Espíritu de vida en Cristo Jesús me ha librado de la ley del pecado y de la muerte.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

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;

3 For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

4 Para que la justicia de la ley fuese cumplida en nosotros, que no andamos conforme á la carne, mas conforme al espíritu.

4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to 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.

5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 Porque la intención de la carne es muerte; mas la intención del espíritu, vida y paz:

6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

7 Por cuanto la intención de la carne es enemistad contra Dios; porque no se sujeta á la ley de Dios, ni tampoco puede.

7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

8 Así que, los que están en la carne no pueden agradar á Dios.

8 Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.

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.

9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

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.

10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

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.

11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

12 Así que, hermanos, deudores somos, no á la carne, para que vivamos conforme á la carne:

12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13 Porque si viviereis conforme á la carne, moriréis; mas si por el espíritu mortificáis las obras de la carne, viviréis.

13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 Porque todos los que son guiados por el Espíritu de Dios, los tales son hijos de Dios.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

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.

15 For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

16 Porque el mismo Espíritu da testimonio á nuestro espíritu que somos hijos de Dios.

16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;

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.

17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

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.

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

19 Porque el continuo anhelar de las criaturas espera la manifestación de los hijos de Dios.

19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

20 Porque las criaturas sujetas fueron á vanidad, no de grado, mas por causa del que las sujetó con esperanza,

20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

21 Que también las mismas criaturas serán libradas de la servidumbre de corrupción en la libertad gloriosa de los hijos de Dios.

21 that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

22 Porque sabemos que todas las criaturas gimen á una, y á una están de parto hasta ahora.

22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

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.

23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

24 Porque en esperanza somos salvos; mas la esperanza que se ve, no es esperanza; porque lo que alguno ve, ¿á qué esperarlo?

24 For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

25 Empero si lo que no vemos esperamos, por paciencia esperamos.

25 But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

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.

26 In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

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.

27 He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

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.

28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

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;

29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

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.

30 Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

31 ¿Pues qué diremos á esto? Si Dios por nosotros, ¿quién contra nosotros?

31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

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?

32 He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

33 ¿Quién acusará á los escogidos de Dios? Dios es el que justifica.

33 Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.

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.

34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

35 ¿Quién nos apartará del amor de Cristo? tribulación? ó angustia? ó persecución? ó hambre? ó desnudez? ó peligro? ó cuchillo?

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 Como está escrito: Por causa de ti somos muertos todo el tiempo: somos estimados como ovejas de matadero.

36 Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

37 Antes, en todas estas cosas hacemos más que vencer por medio de aquel que nos amó.

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

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,

38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

39 Ni lo alto, ni lo bajo, ni ninguna criatura nos podrá apartar del amor de Dios, que es en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro.

39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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 8:12 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XIV)
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.
