YLT Young's Literal Translation

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And we ought — we who are strong — to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves;

1 ASÍ que, los que somos más firmes debemos sobrellevar las flaquezas de los flacos, y no agradarnos á nosotros mismos.

2 for let each one of us please the neighbour for good, unto edification,

2 Cada uno de nosotros agrade á su prójimo en bien, á edificación.

3 for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according as it hath been written, 'The reproaches of those reproaching Thee fell upon me;'

3 Porque Cristo no se agradó á sí mismo; antes bien, como está escrito: Los vituperios de los que te vituperan, cayeron sobre mí.

4 for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

4 Porque las cosas que antes fueron escritas, para nuestra enseñanza fueron escritas; para que por la paciencia, y por la consolación de las Escrituras, tengamos esperanza.

5 And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus;

5 Mas el Dios de la paciencia y de la consolación os dé que entre vosotros seáis unánimes según Cristo Jesús;

6 that with one accord — with one mouth — ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;

6 Para que concordes, á una boca glorifiquéis al Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

7 wherefore receive ye one another, according as also the Christ did receive us, to the glory of God.

7 Por tanto, sobrellevaos los unos á los otros, como también Cristo nos sobrellevó, para gloria de Dios.

8 And I say Jesus Christ to have become a ministrant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,

8 Digo, pues, que Cristo Jesús fué hecho ministro de la circuncisión por la verdad de Dios, para confirmar las promesas [hechas] á los padres,

9 and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, 'Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,'

9 Y para que los Gentiles glorifiquen á Dios por la misericordia; como está escrito: Por tanto yo te confesaré entre los Gentiles, y cantaré á tu nombre.

10 and again it saith, 'Rejoice ye nations, with His people;'

10 Y otra vez dice: Alegraos, Gentiles, con su pueblo.

11 and again, 'Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and laud Him, all ye peoples;'

11 Y otra vez: Alabad al Señor todos los Gentiles, y magnificadle, todos los pueblos.

12 and again, Isaiah saith, 'There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations — upon him shall nations hope;'

12 Y otra vez, dice Isaías: Estará la raíz de Jessé, y el que se levantará á regir los Gentiles: los Gentiles esperarán en él.

13 and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.

13 Y el Dios de esperanza os llene de todo gozo y paz creyendo, para que abundéis en esperanza por la virtud del Espíritu Santo.

14 And I am persuaded, my brethren — I myself also — concerning you, that ye yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also one another to admonish;

14 Empero cierto estoy yo de vosotros, hermanos míos, que aun vosotros mismos estáis llenos de bondad, llenos de todo conocimiento, de tal manera que podáis amonestaros los unos á los otros.

15 and the more boldly I did write to you, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,

15 Mas os he escrito, hermanos, en parte resueltamente, como amonestándoos por la gracia que de Dios me es dada,

16 for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

16 Para ser ministro de Jesucristo á los Gentiles, ministrando el evangelio de Dios, para que la ofrenda de los Gentiles sea agradable, santificada por el Espíritu Santo.

17 I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,

17 Tengo, pues, de qué gloriarme en Cristo Jesús en lo que mira á Dios.

18 for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,

18 Porque no osaría hablar alguna cosa que Cristo no haya hecho por mí para la obediencia de los Gentiles, con la palabra y con las obras,

19 in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;

19 Con potencia de milagros y prodigios, en virtud del Espíritu de Dios: de manera que desde Jerusalem, y por los alrededores hasta Ilírico, he llenado [todo] del evangelio de Cristo.

20 and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named — that upon another's foundation I might not build —

20 Y de esta manera me esforcé á predicar el evangelio, no donde [antes] Cristo fuese nombrado, por no edificar sobre ajeno fundamento:

21 but according as it hath been written, 'To whom it was not told concerning him, they shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.'

21 Sino, como está escrito: A los que no fué anunciado de él, verán: y los que no oyeron, entenderán.

22 Wherefore, also, I was hindered many times from coming unto you,

22 Por lo cual aun he sido impedido muchas veces de venir á vosotros.

23 and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come unto you for many years,

23 Mas ahora no teniendo más lugar en estas regiones, y deseando ir á vosotros muchos años há,

24 when I may go on to Spain I will come unto you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward thither, if of you first, in part, I shall be filled.

24 Cuando partiere para España, iré á vosotros; porque espero que pasando os veré, y que seré llevado de vosotros allá, si empero antes hubiere gozado de vosotros.

25 And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;

25 Mas ahora parto para Jerusalem á ministrar á los santos.

26 for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in Jerusalem;

26 Porque Macedonia y Acaya tuvieron por bien hacer una colecta para los pobres de los santos que están en Jerusalem.

27 for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.

27 Porque les pareció bueno, y son deudores á ellos: porque si los Gentiles han sido hechos participantes de sus bienes espirituales, deben también ellos servirles en los carnales.

28 This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;

28 Así que, cuando hubiere concluído esto, y les hubiere consignado este fruto, pasaré por vosotros á España.

29 and I have known that coming unto you — in the fulness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come.

29 Y sé que cuando llegue á vosotros, llegaré con abundancia de la bendición del evangelio de Cristo.

30 And I call upon you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me unto God,

30 Ruégoos empero, hermanos, por el Señor nuestro Jesucristo, y por la caridad del Espíritu, que me ayudéis con oraciones por mí á Dios,

31 that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministration, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the saints;

31 Que sea librado de los rebeldes que están en Judea, y que la ofrenda de mi servicio á los santos en Jerusalem sea acepta;

32 that in joy I may come unto you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,

32 Para que con gozo llegue á vosotros por la voluntad de Dios, y que sea recreado juntamente con vosotros.

33 and the God of the peace [be] with you all. Amen.

33 Y el Dios de paz sea con todos vosotros. Amén.

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 15:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XXVIII)
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.
