PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Pues ¿qué diremos que halló Abraham nuestro padre según la carne?
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
1 Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν Ἀβραὰμ τὸν πατέρα ἡμῶν εὑρηκέναι κατὰ σάρκα;
2 Porque si Abraham fué justificado por las obras, tiene de que gloriarse, mas no delante de Dios.
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
2 εἰ γὰρ Ἀβραὰμ ἐξ ἔργων ἐδικαιώθη, ἔχει καύχημα, ἀλλ᾽ οὐ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν.
3 ¿Qué es pues lo que dice la Escritura? Abraham creyó á Dios, y le fué imputado á justicia.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
3 τί γὰρ ἡ γραφὴ λέγει; ἐπίστευσε δὲ Ἀβραὰμ τῷ Θεῷ καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην.
4 Y al que obra, no se le cuenta el jornal por gracia, sino por deuda.
4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
4 τῷ δὲ ἐργαζομένῳ ὁ μισθὸς οὐ λογίζεται κατὰ χάριν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ ὀφείλημα·
5 Mas al que no obra, y cree en aquel, que justifica al impío su fé le es imputada á justicia según el decreto de la gracia de Dios.
5 But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
5 τῷ δὲ μὴ ἐργαζομένῳ, πιστεύοντι δὲ ἐπὶ τὸν δικαιοῦντα τὸν ἀσεβῆ λογίζεται ἡ πίστις αὐτοῦ εἰς δικαιοσύνην,
6 Como también David declara la bienaventuranza del hombre, á quien Dios atribuye justicia sin obras.
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
6 καθάπερ καὶ Δαυῒδ λέγει τὸν μακαρισμὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ᾧ ὁ Θεὸς λογίζεται δικαιοσύνην χωρὶς ἔργων·
7 Bienaventurados aquellos, cuyas maldades son perdonadas, y cuyos pecados son cubiertos.
7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
7 μακάριοι ὧν ἀφέθησαν αἱ ἀνομίαι καὶ ὧν ἐπεκαλύφθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι·
8 Bienaventurado el varón, á quien no imputó el Señor pecado.
8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
8 μακάριος ἀνὴρ ᾧ οὐ μὴ λογίσηται Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν.
9 Pues ésta bienaventuranza está tan solamente en la circuncisión, ó también en el prepucio? pues decimos que la fé fué imputada á Abraham á justicia.
9 Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
9 ὁ μακαρισμὸς οὖν οὗτος ἐπὶ τὴν περιτομὴν ἢ καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἀκροβυστίαν; λέγομεν γὰρ ὅτι ἐλογίσθη τῷ Ἀβραὰμ ἡ πίστις εἰς δικαιοσύνην.
10 Pues cómo le fué imputada, ¿en la circuncisión, ó en el prepucio? No en la circuncisión, sino en el prepucio.
10 How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
10 πῶς οὖν ἐλογίσθη; ἐν περιτομῇ ὄντι ἢ ἐν ἀκροβυστίᾳ; οὐκ ἐν περιτομῇ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν ἀκροβυστίᾳ·
11 Y recibió la señal de la circuncisión, como el sello de la justicia de la fé que tuvo, en el prepucio: á fin que fuese padre de todos los que creen, estando en el prepucio, y que también a ellos les sea imputado á justicia:
11 He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
11 καὶ σημεῖον ἔλαβε περιτομῆς, σφραγῖδα τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῆς πίστεως τῆς ἐν τῇ ἀκροβυστίᾳ, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν πατέρα πάντων τῶν πιστευόντων δι᾽ ἀκροβυστίας, εἰς τὸ λογισθῆναι καὶ αὐτοῖς τὴν δικαιοσύνην,
12 Y sea Padre de la circuncisión, no solamente á aquellos que son de la circuncisión, sino á los que siguen las pisadas de la fé, que tuvo nuestro padre Abraham antes de ser circuncidado.
12 He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
12 καὶ πατέρα περιτομῆς τοῖς οὐκ ἐκ περιτομῆς μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῖς στοιχοῦσι τοῖς ἴχνεσι τῆς ἐν [τῇ] ἀκροβυστίᾳ πίστεως τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ.
13 Porque la promesa á Abraham, ó á su posteridad, que seria heredero del mundo, no fué por la Ley, sino por la justicia de la fé.
13 For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
13 οὐ γὰρ διὰ νόμου ἡ ἐπαγγελία τῷ Ἀβραὰμ ἢ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ, τὸ κληρονόμον αὐτὸν εἶναι τοῦ κόσμου, ἀλλὰ διὰ δικαιοσύνης πίστεως.
14 Porque si los de la Ley son los herederos: queda aniquila da la fé, y la promesa sin valor.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
14 εἰ γὰρ οἱ ἐκ νόμου κληρονόμοι, κεκένωται ἡ πίστις καὶ κατήργηται ἡ ἐπαγγελία·
15 Porque la Ley obra ira: puesto que en donde no hay Ley, no hay quebrantamiento.
15 For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
15 ὁ γὰρ νόμος ὀργὴν κατεργάζεται· οὗ γὰρ οὐκ ἔστι νόμος, οὐδὲ παράβασις.
16 Y así es por la fé, á fin que por gracia la promesa sea firme á toda su posteridad, no tan solo al que es de la Ley, sino también al que es de la fé de Abraham, que es padre de todos nosotros,
16 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.
16 Διὰ τοῦτο ἐκ πίστεως, ἵνα κατὰ χάριν, εἰς τὸ εἶναι βεβαίαν τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν παντὶ τῷ σπέρματι, οὐ τῷ ἐκ [τοῦ] νόμου μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῷ ἐκ πίστεως Ἀβραάμ, ὅς ἐστι πατὴρ πάντων ἡμῶν,
17 (Como está escrito: Yo te he constituido Padre de muchas gentes) delante de Dios, á quien había creído, el qual da vida á los muertos, y llama las cosas que no son, como las que son.
17 As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
17 καθὼς γέγραπται ὅτι πατέρα πολλῶν ἐθνῶν τέθεικά σε, κατέναντι οὗ ἐπίστευσε Θεοῦ τοῦ ζωοποιοῦντος τοὺς νεκροὺς καὶ καλοῦντος τὰ μὴ ὄντα ὡς ὄντα·
18 Él creyó en esperanza contra esperanza, que seria Padre de muchas gentes, según lo que se le había dicho: Así será tu linage.
18 Against hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
18 ὃς παρ᾽ ἐλπίδα ἐπ᾽ ἐλπίδι ἐπίστευσεν, εἰς τὸ γενέσθαι αὐτὸν πατέρα πολλῶν ἐθνῶν κατὰ τὸ εἰρημένον· οὕτως ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου·
19 Y no se enflaqueció en la fé, ni consideró su propio cuerpo ya amortiguado, siendo ya de casi cien años, ni que la virtud de concebir se había extinguido en Sara:
19 Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
19 καὶ μὴ ἀσθενήσας τῇ πίστει οὐ κατενόησε τὸ ἑαυτοῦ σῶμα ἤδη νενεκρωμένον, ἑκατονταέτης που ὑπάρχων, καὶ τὴν νέκρωσιν μήτρας Σάρρας·
20 Tampoco vaciló, ni tuvo la menor desconfianza en la promesa de Dios: antes se fortificó en la fé, dando gloria á Dios:
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
20 εἰς δὲ τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐ διεκρίθη τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐνεδυναμώθη τῇ πίστει, δοὺς δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ
21 Teniendo por muy cierto, que también es poderoso para cumplir todo quanto había prometido.
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
21 καὶ πληροφορηθεὶς ὅτι ὃ ἐπήγγελται δυνατός ἐστι καὶ ποιῆσαι.
22 Y por esto le fué también imputado á justicia.
22 Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
22 διὸ καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην.
23 Y no está escrito solamente por él, que le fué imputado á justicia:
23 Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
23 Οὐκ ἐγράφη δὲ δι᾽ αὐτὸν μόνον ὅτι ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ,
24 Mas también por nosotros: á quienes será imputado si creemos en aquel, que resucitó de entre los muertos á Jesu-Christo nuestro Señor.
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
24 ἀλλὰ καὶ δι᾽ ἡμᾶς οἷς μέλλει λογίζεσθαι, τοῖς πιστεύουσιν ἐπὶ τὸν ἐγείραντα Ἰησοῦν τὸν Κύριον ἡμῶν ἐκ νεκρῶν,
25 El qual fué entregado por nuestros pecados, y resucitó para nuestra justificación.
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
25 ὃς παρεδόθη διὰ τὰ παραπτώματα ἡμῶν καὶ ἠγέρθη διὰ τὴν δικαίωσιν ἡμῶν.

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).
He had said (5 mss. eipen), that the world had become guilty before God, and that all had sinned, and that boasting was excluded, and that it was impossible to be saved otherwise than by faith.

And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness." On account of his faith and hospitality, a son was given him in his old age; and in the exercise of obedience, he offered him as a sacrifice to God on one of the mountains which He showed him.
"Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness." In the first place, [he believed] that He was the maker of heaven and earth, the only God; and in the next place, that He would make his seed as the stars of heaven.
Here, indeed, is set down that sentence which the apostle quotes in order to commend the grace of God, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness;" lest the circumcision should glory, and be unwilling to receive the uncircumcised nations to the faith of Christ.

God promises the old man a child, and Abraham without being weakened in faith, though he considered his own body now as good as dead, heeded not the weakness of his body, but the power of Him who promised, because he counted Him faithful who had promised, and so beyond all expectation gained the child from bodies as it …
