WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, hath found?
1 ¿QUÉ, pues, diremos que halló Abraham nuestro padre según la carne?
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.
2 Que si Abraham fué justificado por la obras, tiene de qué gloriarse; mas no para con Dios.
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
3 For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.
3 Porque ¿qué dice la Escritura? Y creyó Abraham á Dios, y le fué atribuído á justicia.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
4 Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.
4 Empero al que obra, no se le cuenta el salario por merced, sino por deuda.
4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.
5 Mas al que no obra, pero cree en aquél que justifica al impío, la fe le es contada por justicia.
5 But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
6 Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,
6 Como también David dice ser bienaventurado el hombre al cual Dios atribuye justicia sin obras,
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7 [saying], Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered.
7 [Diciendo]: Bienaventurados aquellos cuyas iniquidades son perdonadas, y cuyos pecados son cubiertos.
7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not reckon sin.
8 Bienaventurado el varón al cual el Señor no imputó pecado.
8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
9 Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness.
9 ¿Es pues esta bienaventuranza [solamente] en la circuncisión, ó también en la incircuncisión? porque decimos que á Abraham fué contada la fe por justicia.
9 Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
10 How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision:
10 ¿Cómo pues [le] fué contada? ¿en la circuncisión, ó en la incircuncisión? No en la circuncisión, sino en la incircuncisión.
10 How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;
11 Y recibió la circuncisión por señal, por sello de la justicia de la fe que tuvo en la incircuncisión: para que fuese padre de todos los creyentes no circuncidados, para que también á ellos les sea contado por justicia;
11 He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
12 and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.
12 Y padre de la circuncisión, no solamente á los que son de la circuncisión, mas también á los que siguen las pisadas de la fe que fué en nuestro padre Abraham antes de ser circuncidado.
12 He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
13 For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.
13 Porque no por la ley fué [dada] la promesa á Abraham ó á su simiente, que sería heredero del mundo, sino por la justicia de la fe.
13 For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:
14 Porque si los que son de la ley son los herederos, vana es la fe, y anulada es la promesa.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
15 for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
15 Porque la ley obra ira; porque donde no hay ley, tampoco hay transgresión.
15 For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
16 For this cause [it is ]of faith, that [it may be ]according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
16 Por tanto [es] por la fe, para que [sea] por gracia; para que la promesa sea firme á toda simiente, no solamente al que es de la ley, mas también al que es de la fe de Abraham, el cual es padre de todos nosotros,
16 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.
17 (as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, [even ]God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.
17 (Como está escrito: Que por padre de muchas gentes te he puesto) delante de Dios, al cual creyó; el cual da vida á los muertos, y llama las cosas que no son, como las que son.
17 As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
18 Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be.
18 El creyó en esperanza contra esperanza, para venir á ser padre de muchas gentes, conforme á lo que [le] había sido dicho: Así será tu simiente.
18 Against hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
19 And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb:
19 Y no se enflaqueció en la fe, ni consideró su cuerpo ya muerto (siendo ya de casi cien años), ni la matriz muerta de Sara;
19 Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
20 yea, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God,
20 Tampoco en la promesa de Dios dudó con desconfianza: antes fué esforzado en fe, dando gloria á Dios,
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
21 and being fully assured that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
21 Plenamente convencido de que todo lo que había prometido, era también poderoso para hacerlo.
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
22 Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.
22 Por lo cual también le fué atribuído á justicia.
22 Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him;
23 Y no solamente por él fué escrito que le haya sido imputado;
23 Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
24 but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
24 Sino también por nosotros, á quienes será imputado, [esto es], á los que creemos en el que levantó de los muertos á Jesús Señor nuestro,
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
25 El cual fué entregado por nuestros delitos, y resucitado para nuestra justificación.
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

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).
He had said (5 mss. eipen), that the world had become guilty before God, and that all had sinned, and that boasting was excluded, and that it was impossible to be saved otherwise than by faith.

And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness." On account of his faith and hospitality, a son was given him in his old age; and in the exercise of obedience, he offered him as a sacrifice to God on one of the mountains which He showed him.
"Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness." In the first place, [he believed] that He was the maker of heaven and earth, the only God; and in the next place, that He would make his seed as the stars of heaven.
Here, indeed, is set down that sentence which the apostle quotes in order to commend the grace of God, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness;" lest the circumcision should glory, and be unwilling to receive the uncircumcised nations to the faith of Christ.

God promises the old man a child, and Abraham without being weakened in faith, though he considered his own body now as good as dead, heeded not the weakness of his body, but the power of Him who promised, because he counted Him faithful who had promised, and so beyond all expectation gained the child from bodies as it …
