PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Acepten a los que todavía están luchando por creer en Dios, y no tengan discusiones por causa de opiniones personales.
1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
1 Τὸν δὲ ἀσθενοῦντα τῇ πίστει προσλαμβάνεσθε, μὴ εἰς διακρίσεις διαλογισμῶν.
2 Es posible que una persona crea que puede comer de todo, mientras otra, con una fe más débil, solo come vegetales.
2 One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
2 ὃς μὲν πιστεύει φαγεῖν πάντα, ὁ δὲ ἀσθενῶν λάχανα ἐσθίει.
3 Los que comen de todo no deben menospreciar a los que no, y los que no comen de todo no deben criticar a los que sí lo hacen, porque Dios ha aceptado a ambos.
3 Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him.
3 ὁ ἐσθίων τὸν μὴ ἐσθίοντα μὴ ἐξουθενείτω, καὶ ὁ μὴ ἐσθίων τὸν ἐσθίοντα μὴ κρινέτω· ὁ Θεὸς γὰρ αὐτὸν προσελάβετο.
4 ¿Qué derecho tienes tú para juzgar al siervo de otro? Es su propio amo quien decide si está haciendo bien o mal. Con ayuda de Dios, ellos podrán discernir lo correcto.
4 Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.
4 σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ κρίνων ἀλλότριον οἰκέτην; τῷ ἰδίῳ Κυρίῳ στήκει ἢ πίπτει· σταθήσεται δέ· δυνατὸς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς στῆσαι αὐτόν.
5 Hay quienes consideran que algunos días son más importantes que otros, mientras que otros piensan que todos los días son iguales. Todos deben estar plenamente convencidos en su propia mente.
5 One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
5 ὃς μὲν κρίνει ἡμέραν παρ᾽ ἡμέραν, ὃς δὲ κρίνει πᾶσαν ἡμέραν. ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ νοῒ πληροφορείσθω.
6 Los que respetan un día especial, lo hacen para el Señor; y los que comen sin preocupaciones, lo hacen también, puesto que dan las gracias a Dios; mientras tanto, los que evitan comer ciertas cosas, también lo hacen para el Señor, y del mismo modo, dan gracias a Dios.
6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.
6 ὁ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν Κυρίῳ φρονεῖ, καὶ ὁ μὴ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν Κυρίῳ οὐ φρονεῖ. καὶ ὁ ἐσθίων Κυρίῳ ἐσθίει· εὐχαριστεῖ γὰρ τῷ Θεῷ· καὶ ὁ μὴ ἐσθίων Κυρίῳ οὐκ ἐσθίει, καὶ εὐχαριστεῖ τῷ Θεῷ.
7 Ninguno de nosotros vive para sí mismo, o muere para sí mismo.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
7 οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἡμῶν ἑαυτῷ ζῇ καὶ οὐδεὶς ἑαυτῷ ἀποθνήσκει·
8 Si vivimos, vivimos para el Señor, o si morimos, morimos para el Señor. De modo que ya sea que vivamos o muramos, pertenecemos al Señor.
8 For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
8 ἐάν τε γὰρ ζῶμεν, τῷ Κυρίῳ ζῶμεν, ἐάν τε ἀποθνήσκωμεν, τῷ Κυρίῳ ἀποθνήσκομεν. ἐάν τε οὖν ζῶμεν ἐάν τε ἀποθνήσκωμεν, τοῦ Κυρίου ἐσμέν.
9 Esta fue la razón por la que Cristo murió y volvió a la vida, para así ser Señor tanto de los muertos como de los vivos.
9 For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
9 εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ Χριστὸς καὶ ἀπέθανε καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἔζησεν, ἵνα καὶ νεκρῶν καὶ ζώντων κυριεύσῃ.
10 ¿Por qué, entonces, criticas a tu hermano creyente? Pues todos estaremos en pie delante del trono en el juicio de Dios.
10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
10 Σὺ δὲ τί κρίνεις τὸν ἀδελφόν σου; ἢ καὶ σὺ τί ἐξουθενεῖς τὸν ἀδελφόν σου; πάντες γὰρ παραστησόμεθα τῷ βήματι τοῦ Χριστοῦ.
11 Pues las Escrituras dicen: “‘Tan cierto como yo estoy vivo,’ dice el Señor, ‘toda rodilla se doblará delante de mí, y toda lengua declarará que yo soy Dios’”.
11 For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
11 γέγραπται γάρ· ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος, ὅτι ἐμοὶ κάμψει πᾶν γόνυ, καὶ πᾶσα γλῶσσα ἐξομολογήσεται τῷ Θεῷ.
12 Así que cada uno de nosotros tendrá que rendir cuenta de sí mismo a Dios.
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
12 ἄρα οὖν ἕκαστος ἡμῶν περὶ ἑαυτοῦ λόγον δώσει τῷ Θεῷ.
13 Por lo tanto, no nos juzguemos más unos a otros. Por el contrario, decidamos no poner obstáculos en el camino de nuestros hermanos creyentes, ni hacerlos caer.
13 Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
13 Μηκέτι οὖν ἀλλήλους κρίνωμεν, ἀλλὰ τοῦτο κρίνατε μᾶλλον, τὸ μὴ τιθέναι πρόσκομμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ ἢ σκάνδαλον.
14 Yo estoy seguro—persuadido por el Señor Jesús—que nada es, en sí mismo, ceremonialmente impuro. Pero si alguno considera que es impuro, para él es impuro.
14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
14 οἶδα καὶ πέπεισμαι ἐν Κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ ὅτι οὐδὲν κοινὸν δι᾽ αὐτοῦ· εἰ μὴ τῷ λογιζομένῳ τι κοινὸν εἶναι, ἐκείνῳ κοινόν.
15 Si tu hermano creyente se siente ofendido por ti, en términos de comidas, entonces ya tu conducta no es de amor. No destruyas a alguien por quien Cristo murió por la comida que eliges comer.
15 Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
15 εἰ δὲ διὰ βρῶμα ὁ ἀδελφός σου λυπεῖται, οὐκέτι κατὰ ἀγάπην περιπατεῖς. μὴ τῷ βρώματί σου ἐκεῖνον ἀπόλλυε, ὑπὲρ οὗ Χριστὸς ἀπέθανε.
16 No permitas que las cosas buenas que haces sean malinterpretadas—
16 Then don’t let your good be slandered,
16 μὴ βλασφημείσθω οὖν ὑμῶν τὸ ἀγαθόν.
17 porque el reino de Dios no tiene que ver con la comida o la bebida, sino con vivir bien, tener paz y gozo en el Espíritu Santo.
17 for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
17 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ βρῶσις καὶ πόσις, ἀλλὰ δικαιοσύνη καὶ εἰρήνη καὶ χαρὰ ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ·
18 Todo el que sirve a Cristo de este modo, agrada a Dios, y es apreciado por los demás.
18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
18 ὁ γὰρ ἐν τούτοις δουλεύων τῷ Χριστῷ εὐάρεστος τῷ Θεῷ καὶ δόκιμος τοῖς ἀνθρώποις.
19 Así que sigamos el camino de la paz, y busquemos formas de animarnos unos a otros.
19 So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
19 ἄρα οὖν τὰ τῆς εἰρήνης διώκωμεν καὶ τὰ τῆς οἰκοδομῆς τῆς εἰς ἀλλήλους.
20 No destruyas la obra de Dios con discusiones sobre la comida. Todo es limpio, pero estaría mal comer y ofender a otros.
20 Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
20 μὴ ἕνεκεν βρώματος κατάλυε τὸ ἔργον τοῦ Θεοῦ. πάντα μὲν καθαρά, ἀλλὰ κακὸν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τῷ διὰ προσκόμματος ἐσθίοντι.
21 Es mejor no comer carne, o no beber vino ni nada que pueda ser causa del tropiezo de tu hermano creyente.
21 It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
21 καλὸν τὸ μὴ φαγεῖν κρέα μηδὲ πιεῖν οἶνον μηδὲ ἐν ᾧ ὁ ἀδελφός σου προσκόπτει ἢ σκανδαλίζεται ἢ ἀσθενεῖ.
22 Lo que tú crees, de manera personal, es algo entre tú y Dios. ¡Cuán felices son los que no se condenan a sí mismos por hacer lo que creen que es correcto!
22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
22 σὺ πίστιν ἔχεις; κατὰ σεαυτὸν ἔχε ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ. μακάριος ὁ μὴ κρίνων ἑαυτὸν ἐν ᾧ δοκιμάζει.
23 Pero si tienes dudas en cuanto a si está bien o mal comer algo, entonces no debes hacerlo, porque no estás convencido de que es correcto. Todo lo que no está basado en la convicción es pecado.
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
23 ὁ δὲ διακρινόμενος ἐὰν φάγῃ, κατακέκριται, ὅτι οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως· πᾶν δὲ ὃ οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως, ἁμαρτία ἐστίν.
24 Not in this translation
24 Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages,
24 Τῷ δὲ δυναμένῳ ὑμᾶς στηρίξαι κατὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιόν μου καὶ τὸ κήρυγμα Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, κατὰ ἀποκάλυψιν μυστηρίου χρόνοις αἰωνίοις σεσιγημένου,
25 Not in this translation
25 but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations;
25 φανερωθέντος δὲ νῦν, διά τε γραφῶν προφητικῶν κατ᾽ ἐπιταγὴν τοῦ αἰωνίου Θεοῦ εἰς ὑπακοὴν πίστεως εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη γνωρισθέντος,
26 Not in this translation
26 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever! Amen.
26 μόνῳ σοφῷ Θεῷ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας· ἀμήν.

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).

  1. Commentary 14:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XXV)

    I Am aware that to most what is here said is a difficulty. And therefore I must first give the subject of the whole of this passage, and what he wishes to correct in writing this. What does he wish to correct then?

    If then we entreat the Lord to forgive us, we ought also ourselves to forgive; for we are before the eyes of our Lord and God, and "we must all appear at the judgment-seat of Christ, and must every one give an account of himself."
