YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And I commend you to Phebe our sister — being a ministrant of the assembly that [is] in Cenchrea —
1 ENCOMIÉNDOOS empero á Febe nuestra hermana, la cual es diaconisa de la iglesia que está en Cencreas:
2 that ye may receive her in the Lord, as doth become saints, and may assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you — for she also became a leader of many, and of myself.
2 Que la recibáis en el Señor, como es digno á los santos, y que la ayudéis en cualquiera cosa en que os hubiere menester: porque ella ha ayudado á muchos, y á mí mismo.
3 Salute Priscilla and Aquilas, my fellow-workmen in Christ Jesus —
3 Saludad á Priscila y á Aquila, mis coadjutores en Cristo Jesús;
4 who for my life their own neck did lay down, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations —
4 (Que pusieron sus cuellos por mi vida: á los cuales no doy gracias yo solo, mas aun todas las iglesias de los Gentiles;)
5 and the assembly at their house; salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is first-fruit of Achaia to Christ.
5 Asimismo á la iglesia de su casa. Saludad á Epeneto, amado mío, que es las primicias de Acaya en Cristo.
6 Salute Mary, who did labour much for us;
6 Saludad á María, la cual ha trabajado mucho con vosotros.
7 salute Andronicus and Junias, my kindred, and my fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.
7 Saludad á Andrónico y á Junia, mis parientes, y mis compañeros en la cautividad, los que son insignes entre los apóstoles; los cuales también fueron antes de mí en Cristo.
8 Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord;
8 Saludad á Amplias, amado mío en el Señor.
9 salute Arbanus, our fellow-workman in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved;
9 Saludad á Urbano, nuestro ayudador en Cristo Jesús, y á Stachîs, amado mío.
10 salute Apelles, the approved in Christ; salute those of the [household] of Aristobulus;
10 Saludad á Apeles, probado en Cristo. Saludad á los que son de Aristóbulo.
11 salute Herodion, my kinsman; salute those of the [household] of Narcissus, who are in the Lord;
11 Saludad á Herodión, mi pariente. Saludad á los que son de [la casa de] Narciso, los que están en el Señor.
12 salute Tryphaena, and Tryphosa, who are labouring in the Lord; salute Persis, the beloved, who did labour much in the Lord.
12 Saludad á Trifena y á Trifosa, las cuales trabajan en el Señor. Saludad á Pérsida amada, la cual ha trabajado mucho en el Señor.
13 Salute Rufus, the choice one in the Lord, and his mother and mine,
13 Saludad á Rufo, escogido en el Señor, y á su madre y mía.
14 salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren with them;
14 Saludad á Asíncrito, y á Flegonte, á Hermas, á Patrobas, á Hermes, y á los hermanos que están con ellos.
15 salute Philologus, and Julias, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them;
15 Saludad á Filólogo y á Julia, á Nereo y á su hermana, y á Olimpas, y á todos los santos que están con ellos.
16 salute one another in a holy kiss; the assemblies of Christ do salute you.
16 Saludaos los unos á los otros con ósculo santo. Os saludan todas las iglesias de Cristo.
17 And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them;
17 Y os ruego hermanos, que miréis los que causan disensiones y escándalos contra la doctrina que vosotros habéis aprendido; y apartaos de ellos.
18 for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless,
18 Porque los tales no sirven al Señor nuestro Jesucristo, sino á sus vientres; y con suaves palabras y bendiciones engañan los corazones de los simples.
19 for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore, as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the good, and harmless as to the evil;
19 Porque vuestra obediencia ha venido á ser notoria á todos; así que me gozo de vosotros; mas quiero que seáis sabios en el bien, y simples en el mal.
20 and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen!
20 Y el Dios de paz quebrantará presto á Satanás debajo de vuestros pies. La gracia del Señor nuestro Jesucristo [sea] con vosotros.
21 Salute you do Timotheus, my fellow-workman, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kindred;
21 Os saludan Timoteo, mi coadjutor, y Lucio y Jasón y Sosipater, mis parientes.
22 I Tertius salute you (who wrote the letter) in the Lord;
22 Yo Tercio, que escribí la epístola, os saludo en el Señor.
23 salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly; salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother,
23 Salúdaos Gayo, mi huésped, y de toda la iglesia. Salúdaos Erasto, tesorero de la ciudad, y el hermano Cuarto.
24 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
24 La gracia del Señor nuestro Jesucristo sea con todos vosotros. Amén.
25 And 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 secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent,
25 Y al que puede confirmaros según mi evangelio y la predicación de Jesucristo, según la revelación del misterio encubierto desde tiempos eternos,
26 and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith —
26 Mas manifestado ahora, y por las Escrituras de los profetas, según el mandamiento del Dios eterno, declarado á todas las gentes para que obedezcan á la fe;
27 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to him [be] glory to the ages. Amen.
27 Al solo Dios sabio, sea gloria por Jesucristo para siempre. Amén. Fué escrita de Corinto á los Romanos, [enviada] por [medio de] Febe, diaconisa de la iglesia de Cencreas.

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 16:5 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XXXI)

    I Think that many even of those who have the appearance of being extremely good men, hasten over this part of the Epistle as superfluous, and having no great weight in it. And I think that the same befalls them in regard to the genealogy that is in the Gospel.

  2. Quotes verse 16:18 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXIII)

    … for them?" That we might watch, and be ever prepared for conflict, guarding against our disguised as well as against our open enemies: which kind indeed Paul also was intimating, when he said, that "by their good words they deceive the hearts of the simple." Let us not be troubled therefore, when we see many such even now.
