Romanos 12 Biblia en inglés básico
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), en inglés, leído por Winfred W. Henson · Sobre las grabaciones
1 For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.
1 ASÍ que, hermanos, os ruego por las misericordias de Dios, que presentéis vuestros cuerpos en sacrificio vivo, santo, agradable á Dios, [que es] vuestro racional culto.
2 And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God.
2 Y no os conforméis á este siglo; mas reformaos por la renovación de vuestro entendimiento, para que experimentéis cuál sea la buena voluntad de Dios, agradable y perfecta.
3 But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.
3 Digo pues por la gracia que me es dada, á cada cual que está entre vosotros, que no tenga más alto concepto de sí que el que debe tener, sino que piense de sí con templanza, conforme á la medida de fe que Dios repartió á cada uno.
4 For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,
4 Porque de la manera que en un cuerpo tenemos muchos miembros, empero todos los miembros no tienen la misma operación;
5 So we, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another;
5 Así muchos somos un cuerpo en Cristo, mas todos miembros los unos de los otros.
6 And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;
6 De manera que, teniendo diferentes dones según la gracia que nos es dada, si [el de] profecía, [úsese] conforme á la medida de la fe;
7 Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;
7 O si ministerio, en servir; ó el que enseña, en doctrina;
8 He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.
8 El que exhorta, en exhortar; el que reparte, [hágalo] en simplicidad; el que preside, con solicitud; el que hace misericordia, con alegría.
9 Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.
9 El amor sea sin fingimiento: aborreciendo lo malo, llegándoos á lo bueno;
10 Be kind to one another with a brother's love, putting others before yourselves in honour;
10 Amándoos los unos á los otros con caridad fraternal; previniéndoos con honra los unos á los otros;
11 Be not slow in your work, but be quick in spirit, as the Lord's servants;
11 En el cuidado no perezosos; ardientes en espíritu; sirviendo al Señor;
12 Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,
12 Gozosos en la esperanza; sufridos en la tribulación; constantes en la oración;
13 Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses.
13 Comunicando á las necesidades de los santos; siguiendo la hospitalidad.
14 Give blessing and not curses to those who are cruel to you.
14 Bendecid á los que os persiguen: bendecid, y no maldigáis.
15 Take part in the joy of those who are glad, and in the grief of those who are sorrowing.
15 Gozaos con los que se gozan: llorad con los que lloran.
16 Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.
16 Unánimes entre vosotros: no altivos, mas acomodándoos á los humildes. No seáis sabios en vuestra opinión.
17 Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.
17 No paguéis á nadie mal por mal; procurad lo bueno delante de todos los hombres.
18 As far as it is possible for you be at peace with all men.
18 Si se puede hacer, cuanto está en vosotros, tened paz con todos los hombres.
19 Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.
19 No os venguéis vosotros mismos, amados míos; antes dad lugar á la ira; porque escrito está: Mía es la venganza: yo pagaré, dice el Señor.
20 But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head.
20 Así que, si tu enemigo tuviere hambre, dale de comer; si tuviere sed, dale de beber: que haciendo esto, ascuas de fuego amontonas sobre su cabeza.
21 Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.
21 No seas vencido de lo malo; mas vence con el bien el mal.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
After discoursing at large upon the love of God toward man, and pointing out His unspeakable concern for us, and unutterable goodness, which cannot even be searched into, he next puts it forward with a view of persuading those who have received the benefit to exhibit a conversation worthy of the gift.

Why do we divide and tear to pieces the members of Christ, and raise up strife against our own body, and have reached such a height of madness as to forget that "we are members one of another?" Remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, how He said, "Woe to that man [by whom offences come]!
… pride, nor should we tempt God, but should feel humility in all things, and have ready to hand [this saying], "Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God." As also the apostle taught, saying, "Minding not high things, but consenting to things of low estate;" that we should neither be ensnared with riches, nor mundane glory, nor present fancy, but …
… this custom had it been forbidden by another whom she loved not as Ambrose, whom, out of regard for my salvation, she loved most dearly; and he loved her truly, on account of her most religious conversation, whereby, in good works so "fervent in spirit," she frequented the church; so that he would often, when he saw me, burst forth …

When we do so as avenging ourselves: which Paul also forbidding, said "Avenge not yourselves, dearly beloved, but rather give place unto wrath." When we are contending for riches: yea, for this hath he also taken away, where he saith, "Why do ye not rather take wrong?
