PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Esta carta viene de Pablo, siervo de Jesucristo. Fui llamado por Dios para ser apóstol. Él me designó para anunciar la buena noticia
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
1 Παῦλος, δοῦλος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, κλητὸς ἀπόστολος, ἀφωρισμένος εἰς εὐαγγέλιον Θεοῦ
2 que anteriormente había prometido a través de sus profetas en las Sagradas Escrituras.
2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
2 ὃ προεπηγγείλατο διὰ τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν γραφαῖς ἁγίαις
3 La buena noticia es sobre su Hijo, cuyo antepasado fue David,
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
3 περὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, τοῦ γενομένου ἐκ σπέρματος Δαυῒδ κατὰ σάρκα,
4 pero que fue revelado como Hijo de Dios por medio de su resurrección de los muertos por el poder del Espíritu Santo. Él es Jesucristo, nuestro Señor.
4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
4 τοῦ ὁρισθέντος υἱοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν δυνάμει κατὰ πνεῦμα ἁγιωσύνης ἐξ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν,
5 Fue a través de él que recibí el privilegio de convertirme en apóstol para llamar a todas las naciones a creer en él y obedecerle.
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake;
5 δι᾽ οὗ ἐλάβομεν χάριν καὶ ἀποστολὴν εἰς ὑπακοὴν πίστεως ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ὑπὲρ τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ,
6 Ustedes también hacen parte de los que fueron llamados a pertenecer a Jesucristo.
6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
6 ἐν οἷς ἐστε καὶ ὑμεῖς κλητοὶ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
7 Les escribo a todos ustedes que están en Roma, que son amados de Dios y están llamados para ser su pueblo especial. ¡Gracia y paz a ustedes de parte de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo!
7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
7 πᾶσι τοῖς οὖσιν ἐν Ῥώμῃ ἀγαπητοῖς Θεοῦ, κλητοῖς ἁγίοις· χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
8 Permítanme comenzar diciendo que agradezco a mi Dios por medio de Jesucristo por todos ustedes, porque en todo el mundo se habla acerca de la forma en que ustedes creen en Dios.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
8 Πρῶτον μὲν εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ μου διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ὑπὲρ πάντων ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν καταγγέλλεται ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ κόσμῳ.
9 Siempre estoy orando por ustedes, tal como Dios mismo puede confirmarlo, el Dios al cual sirvo con todo mi corazón al compartir la buena noticia de su Hijo.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
9 μάρτυς γάρ μού ἐστιν ὁ Θεός, ᾧ λατρεύω ἐν τῷ πνεύματί μου ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἀδιαλείπτως μνείαν ὑμῶν ποιοῦμαι,
10 En mis oraciones siempre le pido que pronto pueda ir a verlos, si es su voluntad.
10 requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
10 πάντοτε ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν μου δεόμενος εἴ πως ἤδη ποτὲ εὐοδωθήσομαι ἐν τῷ θελήματι τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ὑμᾶς.
11 Realmente deseo visitarlos y compartir con ustedes una bendición espiritual para fortalecerlos.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;
11 ἐπιποθῶ γὰρ ἰδεῖν ὑμᾶς, ἵνα τι μεταδῶ χάρισμα ὑμῖν πνευματικὸν εἰς τὸ στηριχθῆναι ὑμᾶς,
12 Así podemos animarnos unos a otros por medio de la fe que cada uno tiene en Dios, tanto la fe de ustedes como la mía.
12 that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
12 τοῦτο δέ ἐστι συμπαρακληθῆναι ἐν ὑμῖν διὰ τῆς ἐν ἀλλήλοις πίστεως ὑμῶν τε καὶ ἐμοῦ.
13 Quiero que sepan, mis hermanos y hermanas, que a menudo he hecho planes para visitarlos, pero me fue imposible hacerlo hasta hora. Quiero ver buenos frutos espirituales entre ustedes así como los he visto entre otros pueblos.
13 Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (and was hindered so far), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.
13 οὐ θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι πολλάκις προεθέμην ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐκωλύθην ἄχρι τοῦ δεῦρο, ἵνα τινὰ καρπὸν σχῶ καὶ ἐν ὑμῖν καθὼς καὶ ἐν τοῖς λοιποῖς ἔθνεσιν.
14 Porque tengo la obligación de trabajar tanto para los civilizados como los incivilizados, tanto para los educados como los no educados.
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
14 Ἕλλησί τε καὶ βαρβάροις, σοφοῖς τε καὶ ἀνοήτοις ὀφειλέτης εἰμί·
15 Es por eso que en verdad tengo un gran deseo de ir a Roma y compartir la buena noticia con ustedes.
15 So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
15 οὕτω τὸ κατ᾽ ἐμὲ πρόθυμον καὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς ἐν Ῥώμῃ εὐαγγελίσασθαι.
16 Sin lugar a dudas, no me avergüenzo de la buena noticia, porque es poder de Dios para salvar a todos los que creen en él, primero a los judíos, y luego a todos los demás también.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
16 Οὐ γὰρ ἐπαισχύνομαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ· δύναμις γὰρ Θεοῦ ἐστιν εἰς σωτηρίαν παντὶ τῷ πιστεύοντι, Ἰουδαίῳ τε πρῶτον καὶ Ἕλληνι.
17 Porque en la buena noticia Dios se revela como bueno y justo, fiel desde el principio hasta el fin. Tal como lo dice la Escritura: “Los que son justos viven por la fe en él”.
17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
17 δικαιοσύνη γὰρ Θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ ἀποκαλύπτεται ἐκ πίστεως εἰς πίστιν, καθὼς γέγραπται· ὁ δὲ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται.
18 La hostilidad de Dios se revela dese el cielo contra aquellos que son impíos e injustos, contra aquellos que sofocan la verdad con sus malas obras.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
18 Ἀποκαλύπτεται γὰρ ὀργὴ Θεοῦ ἀπ᾽ οὐρανοῦ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ἀσέβειαν καὶ ἀδικίαν ἀνθρώπων τῶν τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἐν ἀδικίᾳ κατεχόντων,
19 Lo que puede llegar a saberse de Dios es obvio, porque él se los ha mostrado claramente.
19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.
19 διότι τὸ γνωστὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ φανερόν ἐστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς· ὁ γὰρ Θεὸς αὐτοῖς ἐφανέρωσε.
20 Desde la creación del mundo, los aspectos invisibles de Dios—su poder y divinidad eternos—son claramente visibles en lo que él hizo. Tales personas no tienen excusa,
20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.
20 τὰ γὰρ ἀόρατα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ κτίσεως κόσμου τοῖς ποιήμασι νοούμενα καθορᾶται, ἥ τε ἀΐδιος αὐτοῦ δύναμις καὶ θειότης, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἀναπολογήτους,
21 porque aunque conocieron a Dios, no lo alabaron ni le agradecieron, sino que su pensamiento respecto a Dios se convirtió en necedad, y la oscuridad llenó sus mentes vacías.
21 Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.
21 διότι γνόντες τὸν Θεὸν οὐχ ὡς Θεὸν ἐδόξασαν ἢ εὐχαρίστησαν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐματαιώθησαν ἐν τοῖς διαλογισμοῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐσκοτίσθη ἡ ἀσύνετος αὐτῶν καρδία·
22 Y aunque aseguraban ser sabios, se volvieron necios.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
22 φάσκοντες εἶναι σοφοὶ ἐμωράνθησαν,
23 Cambiaron la gloria del Dios inmortal por ídolos, imágenes de seres, aves, animales y reptiles.
23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.
23 καὶ ἤλλαξαν τὴν δόξαν τοῦ ἀφθάρτου Θεοῦ ἐν ὁμοιώματι εἰκόνος φθαρτοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ πετεινῶν καὶ τετραπόδων καὶ ἑρπετῶν.
24 Así que Dios los dejó a merced de los malos deseos de sus mentes depravadas, y ellos se hicieron, unos a otros, cosas vergonzosas y degradantes.
24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;
24 Διὸ καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῶν καρδιῶν αὐτῶν εἰς ἀκαθαρσίαν τοῦ ἀτιμάζεσθαι τὰ σώματα αὐτῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς,
25 Cambiaron la verdad de Dios por una mentira, adorando y sirviendo criaturas en lugar del Creador, quien es digno de alabanza por siempre. Amén.
25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
25 οἵτινες μετήλλαξαν τὴν ἀλήθειαν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν τῷ ψεύδει, καὶ ἐσεβάσθησαν καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τῇ κτίσει παρὰ τὸν κτίσαντα, ὅς ἐστιν εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας· ἀμήν.
26 Por eso Dios los dejó a merced de sus malos deseos. Sus mujeres cambiaron el sexo natural por lo que no es natural,
26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.
26 Διὰ τοῦτο παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς εἰς πάθη ἀτιμίας. αἵ τε γὰρ θήλειαι αὐτῶν μετήλλαξαν τὴν φυσικὴν χρῆσιν εἰς τὴν παρὰ φύσιν,
27 y del mismo modo los hombres renunciaron al sexo con mujeres y ardieron en lujuria unos con otros. Los hombres hicieron cosas indecentes unos con otros, y como resultado de ello sufrieron las consecuencias inevitables de sus perversiones.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
27 ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἄρσενες ἀφέντες τὴν φυσικὴν χρῆσιν τῆς θηλείας ἐξεκαύθησαν ἐν τῇ ὀρέξει αὐτῶν εἰς ἀλλήλους, ἄρσενες ἐν ἄρσεσι τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην κατεργαζόμενοι καὶ τὴν ἀντιμισθίαν ἣν ἔδει τῆς πλάνης αὐτῶν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἀπολαμβάνοντες.
28 Como no consideraron la importancia de conocer a Dios, él los dejó a merced de su forma de pensar inútil e infiel, y dejó que hicieran lo que nunca debe hacerse.
28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
28 Καὶ καθὼς οὐκ ἐδοκίμασαν τὸν Θεὸν ἔχειν ἐν ἐπιγνώσει, παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς εἰς ἀδόκιμον νοῦν, ποιεῖν τὰ μὴ καθήκοντα,
29 Se llenaron de toda clase de perversiones: maldad, avaricia, odio, envidia, asesinatos, peleas, engaño, malicia, y chisme.
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
29 πεπληρωμένους πάσῃ ἀδικίᾳ, πορνείᾳ πονηρίᾳ πλεονεξίᾳ κακίᾳ, μεστοὺς φθόνου φόνου ἔριδος δόλου κακοηθείας,
30 Son traidores y odian a Dios. Son arrogantes, orgullosos y jactanciosos. Idean nuevas formas de pecar. Se rebelan contra sus padres.
30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
30 ψιθυριστάς, καταλάλους, θεοστυγεῖς, ὑβριστάς, ὑπερηφάνους, ἀλαζόνας, ἐφευρετὰς κακῶν, γονεῦσιν ἀπειθεῖς,
31 No quieren entender, no cumplen sus promesas, no muestran ningún tipo de bondad o compasión.
31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;
31 ἀσυνέτους, ἀσυνθέτους, ἀστόργους, ἀσπόνδους, ἀνελεήμονας·
32 Aunque conocen claramente la voluntad de Dios, hacen cosas que merecen la muerte. Y no solo hacen estas cosas sino que apoyan a otros para que las hagan.
32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
32 οἵτινες τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπιγνόντες, ὅτι οἱ τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντες ἄξιοι θανάτου εἰσίν, οὐ μόνον αὐτὰ ποιοῦσιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ συνευδοκοῦσι τοῖς πράσσουσι.

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).
Moses having written five books, has nowhere put his own name to them, neither have they who after him put together the history of events after him, no nor yet has Matthew, nor John, nor Mark, nor Luke; but the blessed Paul everywhere in his Epistles sets his own name. Now why was this?
