PT1904 Texto Patriarcal 1904 (acentuado, edición de eBible)
1 This is why, I, Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ for the sake of you foreigners,
1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
1 Τούτου χάριν ἐγὼ Παῦλος ὁ δέσμιος τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν τῶν ἐθνῶν,
2 (well, I'm assuming you've heard that God gave me the specific responsibility of sharing God's grace with you),
2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
2 εἴγε ἠκούσατε τὴν οἰκονομίαν τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Θεοῦ τῆς δοθείσης μοι εἰς ὑμᾶς,
3 how, by what God showed me, made clear the mystery that was previously hidden. I wrote to you briefly before about this,
3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
3 ὅτι κατὰ ἀποκάλυψιν ἐγνώρισέ μοι τὸ μυστήριον, καθὼς προέγραψα ἐν ὀλίγῳ,
4 and when you read this you'll be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ.
4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
4 πρὸς ὃ δύνασθε ἀναγινώσκοντες νοῆσαι τὴν σύνεσίν μου ἐν τῷ μυστηρίῳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ,
5 In past generations this wasn't made clear to anyone, but now it's been revealed to God's holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit
5 which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,
5 ὃ ἑτέραις γενεαῖς οὐκ ἐγνωρίσθη τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὡς νῦν ἀπεκαλύφθη τοῖς ἁγίοις ἀποστόλοις αὐτοῦ καὶ προφήταις ἐν Πνεύματι,
6 that foreigners are joint heirs, part of the same body, and in Christ Jesus share together in the promise through the good news.
6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
6 εἶναι τὰ ἔθνη συγκληρονόμα καὶ σύσσωμα καὶ συμμέτοχα τῆς ἐπαγγελίας αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ διὰ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου,
7 I became a minister of this good news through the gift of God's grace that I was given by his power that was at work in me.
7 of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
7 οὗ ἐγενόμην διάκονος κατὰ τὴν δωρεὰν τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ.
8 This grace was given to me, the least important of all Christians, in order to share with the foreigners the incredible value of Christ,
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
8 ἐμοὶ τῷ ἐλαχιστοτέρῳ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων ἐδόθη ἡ χάρις αὕτη, ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εὐαγγελίσασθαι τὸν ἀνεξιχνίαστον πλοῦτον τοῦ Χριστοῦ
9 and to help everyone see the purpose of the mystery which from the very beginning was hidden in God who made everything.
9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,
9 καὶ φωτίσαι πάντας τίς ἡ οἰκονομία τοῦ μυστηρίου τοῦ ἀποκεκρυμμένου ἀπὸ τῶν αἰώνων ἐν τῷ Θεῷ, τῷ τὰ πάντα κτίσαντι διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
10 God's plan was that through the church the various aspects of his wisdom would be revealed to the rulers and authorities in heaven.
10 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
10 ἵνα γνωρισθῇ νῦν ταῖς ἀρχαῖς καὶ ταῖς ἐξουσίαις ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις διὰ τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἡ πολυποίκιλος σοφία τοῦ Θεοῦ,
11 This was in accordance with God's eternal purpose that he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord.
11 according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
11 κατὰ πρόθεσιν τῶν αἰώνων ἣν ἐποίησεν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν,
12 Because of him and our trust in him we can come to God in total freedom and confidence.
12 In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
12 ἐν ᾧ ἔχομεν τὴν παρρησίαν καὶ τὴν προσαγωγὴν ἐν πεποιθήσει διὰ τῆς πίστεως αὐτοῦ.
13 So I'm asking that you don't get discouraged that I'm suffering—it's for you and you should value that!
13 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
13 διὸ αἰτοῦμαι μὴ ἐκκακεῖν ἐν ταῖς θλίψεσί μου ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, ἥτις ἐστὶ δόξα ὑμῶν.
14 This is why I kneel before the Father
14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
14 Τούτου χάριν κάμπτω τὰ γόνατά μου πρὸς τὸν πατέρα τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth receives its nature and character,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
15 ἐξ οὗ πᾶσα πατριὰ ἐν οὐρανοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς ὀνομάζεται,
16 asking him that out of his wealth of glory he may strengthen you in your innermost being with power through his Spirit.
16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
16 ἵνα δῴη ὑμῖν κατὰ τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ δυνάμει κραταιωθῆναι διὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν ἔσω ἄνθρωπον,
17 May Christ live in you as you trust in him, so that as you are planted deep in love,
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
17 κατοικῆσαι τὸν Χριστὸν διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν,
18 you may have the power to comprehend with all God's people the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ's love.
18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
18 ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἐρριζωμένοι καὶ τεθεμελιωμένοι ἵνα ἐξισχύσητε καταλαβέσθαι σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς ἁγίοις τί τὸ πλάτος καὶ μῆκος καὶ βάθος καὶ ὕψος,
19 May you know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you're made full and complete by the fullness of God.
19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
19 γνῶναί τε τὴν ὑπερβάλλουσαν τῆς γνώσεως ἀγάπην τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα πληρωθῆτε εἰς πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ Θεοῦ.
20 Now may he who—through his power working in us—can do infinitely more than we ever ask for or even think about,
20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
20 Τῷ δὲ δυναμένῳ ὑπὲρ πάντα ποιῆσαι ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ ὧν αἰτούμεθα ἢ νοοῦμεν, κατὰ τὴν δύναμιν τὴν ἐνεργουμένην ἐν ἡμῖν,
21 may he be glorified in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations for ever and ever. Amen.
21 to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
21 αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς πάσας τὰς γενεὰς τοῦ αἰῶνος τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν.

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).
We relate how it came to pass,--she leapeth for joy, and triumpheth, and blesseth Thee, who art "able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think; for she perceived Thee to have given her more for me than she used to ask by her pitiful and most doleful groanings.

… we also say like the Apostle, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all consolation: and, We bow our knees unto the Father from whom all fatherhood in heaven and on earth is named: glorifying Him with the Only-begotten: for he that denieth the Father, denieth the Son …
