Audio: World English Bible (WEB), en inglés, leído por Winfred W. Henson · Sobre las grabaciones
1 So I encourage you, my brothers and sisters, because of God's compassion for you, to dedicate your bodies as a living offering that is holy and pleasing to God. This is the logical way to worship.
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 Don't follow the ways of this world; instead be transformed by the spiritual renewal of your mind so you can demonstrate what God's will really is—good, pleasing, and perfect.
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 Let me explain to all of you, through the grace given to me, that no one should think of themselves better than they ought to. You should think about yourselves realistically, according to the degree of trust God has shared with you.
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 Just as there are many parts to the body, but they don't all do the same thing,
4 Porque de la manera que en un cuerpo tenemos muchos miembros, empero todos los miembros no tienen la misma operación;
5 so we are one body in Christ, even though we are many—and we all belong to one another.
5 Así muchos somos un cuerpo en Cristo, mas todos miembros los unos de los otros.
6 We each have different gifts that vary according to the grace given to us. So if it's speaking for God, then you should do so depending on how much you trust in God.
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 If it's the ministry of service then you should serve; if teaching then you should teach;
7 O si ministerio, en servir; ó el que enseña, en doctrina;
8 if encouragement then you should encourage; if giving then you should give generously; if leadership then you should lead with commitment; if being merciful then you should do so gladly.
8 El que exhorta, en exhortar; el que reparte, [hágalo] en simplicidad; el que preside, con solicitud; el que hace misericordia, con alegría.
9 Love must be genuine. Hate what is evil; hold on tightly to what is good.
9 El amor sea sin fingimiento: aborreciendo lo malo, llegándoos á lo bueno;
10 Be completely dedicated to each other in your love as family; value others more than yourselves.
10 Amándoos los unos á los otros con caridad fraternal; previniéndoos con honra los unos á los otros;
11 Don't be unwilling to work hard; serve the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit.
11 En el cuidado no perezosos; ardientes en espíritu; sirviendo al Señor;
12 Remain cheerful in the hope you have, put up with the troubles that come, keep on praying.
12 Gozosos en la esperanza; sufridos en la tribulación; constantes en la oración;
13 Share in providing for the needs of God's people, and welcome strangers with hospitality.
13 Comunicando á las necesidades de los santos; siguiendo la hospitalidad.
14 Bless those who persecute you—bless them, and don't curse them.
14 Bendecid á los que os persiguen: bendecid, y no maldigáis.
15 Be happy with those who are happy; cry with those who are crying.
15 Gozaos con los que se gozan: llorad con los que lloran.
16 Think about one another. Don't consider yourself more important than others; live humbly. Don't be conceited.
16 Unánimes entre vosotros: no altivos, mas acomodándoos á los humildes. No seáis sabios en vuestra opinión.
17 Don't pay back anyone evil for evil. Make sure you show everybody that what you're doing is good,
17 No paguéis á nadie mal por mal; procurad lo bueno delante de todos los hombres.
18 and as far as it's up to you, live at peace with everyone.
18 Si se puede hacer, cuanto está en vosotros, tened paz con todos los hombres.
19 My dear friends, don't seek revenge, but leave it to God to execute judgment—as Scripture points out, “‘It's for me to dispense justice, I will repay,’ 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 If those who hate you are hungry, give them food; if they're thirsty, give them a drink; for by doing so you pile fiery coals on their heads.
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 Don't be defeated by evil—conquer evil with 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?
