1 Los que de nosotros son espiritualmente fuertes deben apoyar a los que son espiritualmente débiles. No debemos simplemente complacernos a nosotros mismos.
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Todos debemos animar a otros a hacer lo recto, edificándolos.
2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
3 Así como Cristo no vivió para complacerse a sí mismo, sino que, como la Escritura dice de él: “Las ofensas de los que te insultaban han caído 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 Estas Escrituras fueron escritas en el pasado para ayudarnos a entender, y para animarnos a fin de que pudiéramos esperar pacientemente en 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 ¡Que Dios, quien nos da paciencia y ánimo, los ayude a estar en armonía unos con otros como seguidores de Jesucristo,
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 a fin de que puedan, con una sola mente y una sola voz, glorificar juntos a Dios, el 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 Así que acéptense unos a otros, así como Cristo los aceptó a ustedes, y denle la gloria a Dios.
7 Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.
8 Siempre digo que Cristo vino como siervo a los judíos para mostrar que Dios dice la verdad, manteniendo las promesas hechas a sus antepasados.
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 También vino para que los extranjeros pudieran alabar a Dios por su misericordia, como dice la Escritura, “Por lo tanto te alabaré entre los extranjeros; cantaré alabanzas a 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 Y también dice: “¡Extranjeros, celebren con este pueblo!”
10 Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
11 Y una vez más, dice: “Todos ustedes, extranjeros, alaben al Señor, que todos los pueblos le alaben”.
11 Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
12 Y otra vez, Isaías dice: “El descendiente de Isaí vendrá a gobernar las naciones, y los extranjeros pondrán su esperanza 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 ¡Que el Dios de esperanza los llene por completo de todo gozo y paz, como sus creyentes, a fin de que puedan rebosar de esperanza por el poder 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 Estoy convencido de que ustedes, mis hermanos y hermanas, están llenos de bondad, y que están llenos de todo tipo de conocimiento, de modo que están bien capacitados para enseñarse unos a 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 He sido muy directo en la forma como les he escrito sobre algunas de estas cosas, pero es solo para recordarles. Porque Dios me dio la gracia
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 de ser un ministro de Jesucristo para los extranjeros, como un sacerdote que predica la buena noticia de Dios, a fin de que puedan convertirse en una ofrenda 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 Así que, aunque tenga algo de qué jactarme por mi servicio a Dios,
17 I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
18 (no me atrevería a hablar de ninguna de estas cosas, excepto cuando Cristo mismo lo ha hecho a través de mi), he conducido a los extranjeros a la obediencia a través de mi enseñanza y ejemplo,
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 a través del poder de señales y milagros realizados por el poder del Espíritu Santo. Desde Jerusalén hasta Ilírico, por todos lados he compartido enteramente la buena noticia 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 De hecho, con mucho agrado compartí el evangelio en lugares donde no habían escuchado el nombre de Cristo, para no construir sobre lo que otros habían hecho.
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 Como dice la Escritura: “Los que no han oído de la buena noticia la descubrirán, y los que no han oído 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 Por ello muchas veces me fue imposible venir a verlos.
22 Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
23 Pero ahora, como no hay más lugar aquí donde trabajar, y como he deseado visitarlos desde hace años,
23 but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
24 espero verlos cuando vaya de camino a España. Quizás puedan brindarme ayuda para el viaje, después de pasar juntos por algún tiempo.
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 Ahora voy de camino a Jerusalén para ayudar a los creyentes que están allá,
25 But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
26 porque los creyentes en Macedonia y Acaya pensaron que sería bueno enviar una ayuda a los pobres que están entre los creyentes de Jerusalén.
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 Estuvieron felices de ayudarlos porque tienen esta deuda con ellos. Ahora que los extranjeros son partícipes de sus beneficios espirituales, están en deuda con los creyentes judíos para ayudarlos con cosas materiales.
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 De modo que cuando haya terminado con esto, y les haya entregado de manera segura esta contribución, los visitaré a ustedes de camino a 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 Sé que cuando venga, Cristo nos dará su plena bendición.
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 Deseo animarlos, mis hermanos y hermanas, mediante nuestro Señor Jesucristo y mediante el amor del Espíritu, a que se unan y oren mucho por mí.
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 Oren para que pueda estar a salvo de los no creyentes de Judea. Oren para que mi labor en Jerusalén sea bien recibida por los creyentes de allí.
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 Oren para que pueda regresar a ustedes con alegría, conforme a la voluntad de Dios, para que podamos disfrutar juntos, en compañía.
32 that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
33 Que el Dios de paz esté con todos ustedes. 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).
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.

because the Church of Christ hath both strong and weak ones; and cannot be without either strong or weak; whence the Apostle Paul says, "Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak." In that Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God," he represents the strong: but in that he totters, …

… which was produced after the ascension, manifests His equality with the Father; thus saying, "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on my right hand." And Isaiah too saith, "He that riseth up to rule over the Gentiles, in Him shall the Gentiles trust." But how saith he that Bethlehem is "not the least among the princes of Judah?" …
