Romanos 7 Unlocked Literal Bible
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), en inglés, leído por Winfred W. Henson · Sobre las grabaciones
1 Or do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to people who know about law), that the law controls a person for as long as he lives?
1 ¿IGNORÁIS, hermanos, (porque hablo con los que saben la ley) que la ley se enseñorea del hombre entre tanto que vive?
2 For the married woman is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
2 Porque la mujer que está sujeta á marido, mientras el marido vive está obligada á la ley; mas muerto el marido, libre es de la ley del marido.
3 So then, while her husband is living, if she lives with another man, she will be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so she is not an adulteress if she lives with another man.
3 Así que, viviendo el marido, se llamará adúltera si fuere de otro varón; mas si su marido muriere, es libre de la ley; de tal manera que no será adúltera si fuere de otro marido.
4 Therefore, my brothers, you were also made dead to the law through the body of Christ. This is so that you could be joined to another, that is, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might produce fruit for God.
4 Así también vosotros, hermanos míos, estáis muertos á la ley por el cuerpo de Cristo, para que seáis de otro, [á saber], del que resucitó de los muertos, á fin de que fructifiquemos á Dios.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.
5 Porque mientras estábamos en la carne, los afectos de los pecados que eran por la ley, obraban en nuestros miembros fructificando para muerte.
6 But now we have been released from the law. We have died to that by which we were held. This is so that we might serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
6 Mas ahora estamos libres de la ley, habiendo muerto á aquella en la cual estábamos detenidos, para que sirvamos en novedad de espíritu, y no en vejez de letra.
7 What will we say then? Is the law itself sin? May it never be. However, I would never have known sin, if it were not through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law said, “You must not covet.”
7 ¿Qué pues diremos? ¿La ley es pecado? En ninguna manera. Empero yo no conocí el pecado sino por la ley: porque tampoco conociera la concupiscencia, si la ley no dijera: No codiciarás.
8 But sin took the opportunity through the commandment and brought about every lust in me. For without the law, sin is dead.
8 Mas el pecado, tomando ocasión, obró en mí por el mandamiento toda concupiscencia: porque sin la ley el pecado [está] muerto.
9 At one time I was alive without the law, but when the commandment came, sin regained life, and I died.
9 Así que, yo sin la ley vivía por algún tiempo: mas venido el mandamiento, el pecado revivió, y yo morí.
10 The commandment that was to bring life turned out to be death for me.
10 Y hallé que el mandamiento, [intimado] para vida, [para mí] era mortal:
11 For sin took the opportunity through the commandment and deceived me. Through the commandment it killed me.
11 Porque el pecado, tomando ocasión, me engañó por el mandamiento, y por él me mató.
12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
12 De manera que la ley á la verdad es santa, y el mandamiento santo, y justo, y bueno.
13 So did what is good become death to me? May it never be. But sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin through what is good, brought about death in me. This was in order that through the commandment, sin might become sinful beyond measure.
13 ¿Luego lo que es bueno, á mí me es hecho muerte? No; sino que el pecado, para mostrarse pecado, por lo bueno me obró la muerte, haciéndose pecado sobremanera pecante por el mandamiento.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh. I have been sold under slavery to sin.
14 Porque sabemos que la ley es espiritual; mas yo soy carnal, vendido á sujeción del pecado.
15 For what I do, I do not really understand. For what I want to do, I do not do, and what I hate, I do.
15 Porque lo que hago, no lo entiendo; ni lo que quiero, hago; antes lo que aborrezco, aquello hago.
16 But if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law that the law is good.
16 Y si lo que no quiero, esto hago, apruebo que la ley es buena.
17 But now it is no longer I who do it, but the sin that lives in me.
17 De manera que ya no obro aquello, sino el pecado que mora en mí.
18 For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, lives no good thing. For the desire for good is with me, but I cannot do it.
18 Y yo sé que en mí (es á saber, en mi carne) no mora el bien: porque tengo el querer, mas efectuar el bien no lo alcanzo.
19 For the good that I want I do not do, but the evil that I do not want, that I do.
19 Porque no hago el bien que quiero; mas el mal que no quiero, éste hago.
20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, then it is no longer I who am acting, but rather sin that lives in me.
20 Y si hago lo que no quiero, ya no lo obro yo, sino el pecado que mora en mí.
21 I find, then, the principle in me that I want to do what is good, but that evil is actually present in me.
21 Así que, queriendo yo hacer el bien, hallo [esta] ley: Que el mal está en mí.
22 For I rejoice in the law of God with the inner man.
22 Porque según el hombre interior, me deleito en la ley de Dios:
23 But I see a different principle in my body parts. It fights against that new principle in my mind. It takes me captive by the principle of sin that is in my body parts.
23 Mas veo otra ley en mis miembros, que se rebela contra la ley de mi espíritu, y que me lleva cautivo á la ley del pecado que está en mis miembros.
24 I am a miserable man! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
24 ¡Miserable hombre de mí! ¿quién me librará del cuerpo de esta muerte?
25 But thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind. However, with the flesh I serve the principle of sin.
25 Gracias doy á Dios, por Jesucristo Señor nuestro. Así que, yo mismo con la mente sirvo á la ley de Dios, mas con la carne á la ley del pecado.

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 having said that great evils had taken place, and that sin, taking occasion by the commandment, had grown stronger, and the opposite of what the Law mainly aimed at had been the result, and after having thrown the hearer into a great deal of perplexity, he goes on next to give the rationale of these events, after first clearing …

… sign of our salvation, since it was the Lord Himself who saved them, because they could not be saved by their own instrumentality; and, therefore, when Paul sets forth human infirmity, he says: "For I know that there dwelleth in my flesh no good thing," showing that the "good thing" of our salvation is not from us, but from God.
For though a man "delight in the law of God after the inward man," what shall he do with that other law in his members which warreth against the law of his mind, and bringeth him into captivity to the law of sin, which is in his members?

The Devil had used the flesh as an instrument against us; and Paul knowing this, saith, But I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity, and the rest.

And again: "Wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" Then he introduces the Deliverer, [saying,] "The grace of Jesus Christ our Lord." And Isaiah declares this also, [when he says:] "Be ye strengthened, ye hands that hang down, and ye feeble knees; be ye encouraged, ye feeble-minded; be comforted, fear not: behold, …
