Romanos 4

What shall we say then that Abraham our father according to flesh has found?

¿QUÉ, pues, diremos que halló Abraham nuestro padre según la carne?

What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?

For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God;

Que si Abraham fué justificado por la obras, tiene de qué gloriarse; mas no para con Dios.

For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

Porque ¿qué dice la Escritura? Y creyó Abraham á Dios, y le fué atribuído á justicia.

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

Now to him that works the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but of debt:

Empero al que obra, no se le cuenta el salario por merced, sino por deuda.

Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.

but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

Mas al que no obra, pero cree en aquél que justifica al impío, la fe le es contada por justicia.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:

Como también David dice ser bienaventurado el hombre al cual Dios atribuye justicia sin obras,

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:

Blessed †they whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered:

Diciendo: Bienaventurados aquellos cuyas iniquidades son perdonadas, y cuyos pecados son cubiertos.

Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

“Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

blessed †the man to whom †the Lord shall not at all reckon sin.

Bienaventurado el varón al cual el Señor no imputó pecado.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”

†Does this blessedness then †rest on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

¿Es pues esta bienaventuranza solamente en la circuncisión, ó también en la incircuncisión? porque decimos que á Abraham fué contada la fe por justicia.

Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

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.

How then has it been reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

¿Cómo pues le fué contada? ¿en la circuncisión, ó en la incircuncisión? No en la circuncisión, sino en la incircuncisión.

How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

And he received †the sign of circumcision †as seal of the righteousness of faith which †he had being in uncircumcision, that he might be †the father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also;

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;

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

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.

and father of circumcision, not only to those who are of †the circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham.

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.

And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

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.

For †it was not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of †the world, but by righteousness of faith.

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.

For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

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.

For if they which †are of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect.

Porque si los que son de la ley son los herederos, vana es la fe, y anulada es la promesa.

For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.

For law works wrath; but where no law is neither †is there transgression.

Porque la ley obra ira; porque donde no hay ley, tampoco hay transgresión.

Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

Therefore †it is on the principle of faith, that †it might be according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which †is of the law, but to that also which †is of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all,

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,

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might 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,

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.

(according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being;

(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.

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

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.

who against hope believed in hope to his becoming father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be:

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.

Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

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.”

and not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body already become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadening of Sarah's womb,

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;

And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:

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.

and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God;

Tampoco en la promesa de Dios dudó con desconfianza: antes fué esforzado en fe, dando gloria á Dios,

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

and being fully persuaded that what he has promised he is able also to do;

Plenamente convencido de que todo lo que había prometido, era también poderoso para hacerlo.

And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.

wherefore also it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

Por lo cual también le fué atribuído á justicia.

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”

Now it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him,

Y no solamente por él fué escrito que le haya sido imputado;

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,

but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among †the dead Jesus our Lord,

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,

But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

who has been delivered for our offences and has been raised for our justification, it will be reckoned.

El cual fué entregado por nuestros delitos, y resucitado para nuestra justificación.

Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
