Ponme como un sello sobre tu corazón, Como una marca sobre tu brazo. Porque fuerte como la muerte es el amor, Y obstinados son los celos como el Seol, Sus ascuas son carbones encendidos de fuego, La misma llama de YA. (Sheol h7585)
[It is as though] [PRS] the place where the dead people are is eagerly looking for more Israeli people, opening its mouth to swallow them, and a huge number of people will be thrown into that place, including their leaders as well as a noisy crowd of people who enjoy living in Jerusalem. (Sheol h7585)

Tu soberbia y el sonido de tus arpas descendieron al Seol. Los gusanos hacen cama debajo de ti y te cubrirán. (Sheol h7585)

You [boast] saying, “We have made an alliance with [the leaders of Egypt], so we will not be killed [in battles]; we will never go to the place where the dead people are. When the [army of Assyria] attacks us, they will never defeat us, because we have made [an agreement with Egypt] to protect us!” [But that agreement consists of] a lot of lies [DOU]. (Sheol h7585)
Por cuanto dijeron: Hicimos un pacto con la muerte y con el Seol tenemos convenio. Cuando pase el aguacero como torrente, no llegará a nosotros, porque designamos la mentira como nuestro refugio y la falsedad como nuestro escondrijo. (Sheol h7585)
I will annul/destroy the agreement that you made [with the leaders of Egypt].

Su pacto con la muerte será anulado, y su convenio con el Seol no será estable. Cuando pase el aguacero arrollador serán aplastados por él. (Sheol h7585)
I thought to myself, “Is it necessary for me to die and go to the place where the dead people are during this time of my life when I am still strong? Is Yahweh going to rob me of the remaining years that I [should live]?” (Sheol h7585)
Yo dije: En lo mejor de mis días entraré por las puertas del Seol. Soy privado del resto de mis años. (Sheol h7585)
Dead people [MTY] cannot praise you; they cannot sing to praise you. Those who have descended to their graves cannot confidently expect you to faithfully [do things for them]. (Sheol h7585)

You have given [fragrant] oil and lots of perfume to your god Molech, and you sent messengers to distant countries [to find other gods to worship]; you [even tried to] send [messengers] to the place of the dead [to search for new gods]. (Sheol h7585)
Fuiste al rey con ungüento y aumentaste tus perfumes. Enviaste a tus mensajeros lejos y los bajaste al Seol. (Sheol h7585)
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘When that great tree was cut down, [it was as though] the springs that watered it mourned for it, because I caused the plentiful water [from the springs] to dry up. I caused [the mountains in] Lebanon to become black, and all the trees there to wither. (Sheol h7585)
ʼAdonay Yavé dice: El día cuando baje al Seol promoveré el luto por él en el abismo. Detendré sus ríos, y las muchas aguas serán detenidas. Por él cubriré el Líbano de oscuridad, y todos los árboles del campo se desmayarán. (Sheol h7585)
I caused the people of other nations to tremble when they heard that tree fall to the ground. [They realized] that it would decay, like all people who die and are buried decay. And all the [leaders of other countries represented by] other beautiful trees in my garden in Eden and in Lebanon, were like beautiful trees [that were very proud]. They were ones which had roots that grew down deep into the [ground where there was plenty of] water. They were comforted when [the king represented by] [MET] that cedar tree was there with them in the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Produciré temblor en las naciones con el estruendo de su caída, cuando lo eche al Seol con todos los que bajan a la fosa. Entonces todos los árboles bien regados del Edén y los mejores del Líbano, los más selectos y mejores del Líbano que beben aguas, serán fortalecidos en lo profundo de la tierra. (Sheol h7585)
The [leaders of other countries represented by] [MET] trees that grew in the shade of the huge tree, [the allies of] the great nation [that the cedar tree represents], had also joined those who had been killed by the sword and gone down to where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Ellos también bajarán al Seol con él, con los asesinados a espada y los que fueron su fortaleza y vivieron bajo su sombra entre las naciones. (Sheol h7585)
In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)
Los más fuertes de los poderosos de en medio del Seol, con sus ayudadores, hablarán de él: Ya cayeron y están tendidos con los incircuncisos asesinados a espada. (Sheol h7585)
They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)
No están ellos tendidos junto a los héroes caídos de los incircuncisos que bajaron al Seol con sus armas de guerra, las espadas de quienes están puestas debajo de sus cabezas, pero sus pecados quedaron puestos sobre sus huesos, porque impusieron el terror de los poderosos en la tierra de los vivientes. (Sheol h7585)
I certainly will not [RHQ] save you from being killed and from going to the place where the dead people are. I will [RHQ] cause you to be afflicted by plagues and to die and be buried in graves. I will not be merciful [to you]. (Sheol h7585)
¿Los libraré del poder del Seol? ¿Los redimiré de la muerte? ¿Dónde está, oh muerte, tu pestilencia? ¿Dónde, oh sepulcro, tu destrucción? La compasión estará escondida de mis ojos. (Sheol h7585)
If they dig deep pits in the ground, or if they try to climb up to the sky [in order to escape], I will reach out and grab them. (Sheol h7585)
Aunque caven hasta el Seol, allí los alcanzará mi mano. Aunque suban hasta el cielo, de allí los bajaré. (Sheol h7585)
Jonah said, “Yahweh, when I was greatly distressed [here], I prayed to you, and you heard what I [prayed]. When I was [about to descend way down into] the place where dead people go, you heard me when I called out [for you to help/save me]. (Sheol h7585)
y dijo: En mi angustia invoqué a Yavé, y Él me respondió. Desde el estómago del Seol pedí socorro, y Tú escuchaste mi voz. (Sheol h7585)
If people [trust in their wealth], they will deceive themselves, and proud people are never able to rest. [It is as though] the greedy people [of Babylonia open their mouths] as wide as the place where dead people are, and they never have enough, like [the place where] dead people go never has enough dead people [PRS]. The [armies of Babylonia] conquer many nations for themselves, and capture all their people. (Sheol h7585)
Además, el vino traiciona al arrogante, de manera que no se queda en casa. Ensancha su apetito como el Seol, y es como la muerte que nunca está satisfecha. Además, reúne a todos los pueblos y apila a todas las naciones para él. (Sheol h7585)
But what I say to you is this: [If you are] angry with someone, [God] will judge you. If you say to someone, ‘[You are worthless],’ the Jewish Council will judge you. If you [hate someone], and say to them 'You fool!' you. yourself, will be in danger of being thrown into the fires in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Pero Yo les digo que cualquiera que se enfurezca contra su hermano quedará expuesto al juicio. Cualquiera que diga a su hermano: ¡Raca! quedará expuesto ante el Tribunal Supremo, y cualquiera que diga: ¡Moré! quedará expuesto al fuego del infierno. (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY] you [are tempted to] sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it!] It is good [that you not sin and] as a result [go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both of] your eyes. But it is not good [that you continue to have two eyes and sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell. (Geenna g1067)
Por tanto, si tu ojo derecho te es ocasión de caer, sácalo y échalo de ti, porque más te conviene que se pierda uno de tus miembros, y no que todo tu cuerpo sea lanzado al infierno. (Geenna g1067)
If you are [tempted to] use one of your hands to sin [MTY], [stop using your hand. Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you do not sin and as a result you go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both] of your [hands]. But it is not good [that you sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell.” (Geenna g1067)
Si tu mano derecha te es ocasión de caer, córtala y échala de ti, pues más te conviene que se pierda uno de tus miembros, y no que todo tu cuerpo vaya al infierno. (Geenna g1067)
Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
No teman a los que matan el cuerpo pero no pueden matar el alma. Teman más bien al que puede destruir el alma y el cuerpo en el infierno. (Geenna g1067)
[also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city] [MTY]. (Do not [think that] you will be honored {that [God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you think that you will be honored {that [God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary, after you die, you will be sent] {[God] will send you} down into the place where [sinful people] will be punished {he will punish sinful people} [forever. God destroyed the ancient city of] Sodom [because the people who lived in that city were extremely wicked]. If I had performed in [Sodom the miracles that I performed in your city, the people there would have turned away from their wicked behavior and] their [city] [MET] would still exist now [MTY]. But you, [although I did miracles in your city, you did not turn from your wicked behavior]. (Hadēs g86)
Y tú, Cafarnaúm, ¿serás exaltada hasta el cielo? ¡Hasta el sepulcro serás abatida! Porque si en Sodoma se hubieran hecho los milagros que se hicieron en ti, habría permanecido hasta hoy. (Hadēs g86)
[God is willing to] forgive people who criticize [me], the One who came from heaven. But I [warn you that] those who say evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does] will not be forgiven {[God] will not forgive people who speak evil words about what the Holy Spirit [does]}. They will not be forgiven {[He] will not forgive them} now, and they will never be forgiven {[he] will never forgive them}.” (aiōn g165)
Cualquiera que diga una palabra contra el Hijo del Hombre, le será perdonada. Pero al que hable contra el Espíritu Santo, no le será perdonado, ni en este siglo ni en el venidero. (aiōn g165)
[Some people are like the soil that had the roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They hear God’s message, but they desire to be rich, [so they] worry [only] about [MTY, PRS] material things. As a result, they [PRS] forget [God’s] message, and they do not do [IDM] the things that God wants them to do. (aiōn g165)
Y el que fue sembrado entre espinas es el que oye la Palabra, pero el afán del mundo y el engaño de la riqueza ahogan la Palabra y no da fruto. (aiōn g165)
The enemy who sowed the weed seeds represents the devil. The [time when the reapers will] harvest [the grain] represents the time when the world will end. The reapers represent the angels. (aiōn g165)
El enemigo que las sembró es el diablo, la cosecha es el fin del mundo y los cosechadores son los ángeles. (aiōn g165)
The weeds are gathered and burned. {The reapers gather the weeds. Then they burn them.} That represents [the judging of people, which God will do] when the world will end. [It will be like this]: (aiōn g165)
Por tanto, así como la cizaña es recogida y destruida con fuego, así sucederá en el fin del mundo. (aiōn g165)
[What they did in separating the good fish from the bad ones] is like [what will happen to people] when the world ends. The angels will come [to where God is judging people], and will separate the wicked [people] from the righteous [ones]. (aiōn g165)
Así será en el fin del mundo. Los ángeles saldrán, separarán a los malvados de entre los justos (aiōn g165)
I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs g86)
Yo también te digo que tú eres Pedro, y sobre esta roca edificaré mi iglesia, y [las] puertas del Hades no prevalecerán contra ella. (Hadēs g86)
So, if you [are wanting to use] one of your hands or feet to sin, [stop using that hand or foot! Even if you have to] cut it off [to avoid sinning, do it] [MET]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you are maimed or lame and do not have a hand or a foot. But it is not good that you continue to have your two hands and two feet [and do] [MTY] [the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown into [hell], where there is eternal fire burning. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
Por tanto, si tu mano o tu pie te es ocasión de caer, córtalo y échalo de ti. Es mejor entrar en la vida manco o cojo que ser echado con dos manos o dos pies en el fuego eterno. (aiōnios g166)
If what you see you [makes you want] to sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you have only one eye. But it is not good that you continue to have your two eyes [and do the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown {God throws you} into hell where there is eternal fire burning.” (Geenna g1067)
Si tu ojo te es ocasión de caer, sácalo y échalo de ti. Mejor te es entrar tuerto en la vida que con dos ojos ser echado en el infierno de fuego. (Geenna g1067)
[As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)

[God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Todo el que dejó casas, hermanos, hermanas, padre, madre, hijos o granjas por causa de mi Nombre, recibirá muchas veces más y heredará la vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
He saw a fig tree near the road. [So he went over to it to pick some figs to eat]. But when he got close, he saw that there were no [figs on the tree]. There were only leaves on it. So [to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel], he said to the fig tree, “May you never again produce figs!” As a result, the fig tree withered that night. (aiōn g165)
Al ver una higuera junto al camino, fue hacia ella, pero solo halló hojas. Entonces le dijo: Nunca jamás salga fruto de ti. Y al instante la higuera se secó. (aiōn g165)
“You are hypocrites, you men who teach the [Jewish] laws and you Pharisees! Your punishment will be terrible, because you exert yourselves very much to get [even] one person to believe what you teach. For instance, you travel across seas and lands [to distant places] in order to do that. And [as a result], when one person [believes what you teach], you make that person much more deserving to go to hell than you yourselves [deserve to].” (Geenna g1067)
¡Ay de ustedes, escribas y fariseos hipócritas! Porque para hacer un prosélito recorren el mar y la tierra, y cuando es [prosélito, lo] hacen dos veces más hijo del infierno que ustedes. (Geenna g1067)
[You people are so wicked] You are [as dangerous as poisonous] snakes [DOU, MET]! (You [foolishly] think that you will escape being punished in hell!/Do you [foolishly] think that you will escape when [God] punishes [wicked people] in hell?) [RHQ] (Geenna g1067)
¡Serpientes! ¡Engendros de víboras! ¿Cómo escaparán del juicio del infierno? (Geenna g1067)
[Later], as Jesus was sitting alone on [the slope of] Olive [Tree] Hill, [we] disciples went to him and asked him, “When will this happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Also, tell us what will happen to indicate that you are about to] come again, and [to indicate] that this world is ending?” (aiōn g165)
Cuando estaba sentado en la Montaña de Los Olivos, los discípulos se [le] acercaron en privado y [le] preguntaron: Dinos, ¿cuándo será esto? ¿Cuál es la señal de tu venida y del fin de la era? (aiōn g165)
Then I will say to those on my left, ‘You people who have been cursed [by God] {whom God has cursed}, leave me! Go into the eternal fire that God has prepared for (the devil/Satan) and his angels! (aiōnios g166)
También dirá a los de su izquierda: ¡Apártense de Mí, malditos! ¡[Vayan] al fuego eterno preparado para el diablo y sus ángeles! (aiōnios g166)
Then those people [on my left] will go away to the place where [they] will be punished {[God] will punish them} eternally, but the righteous people will go to where they will live forever [with God].” (aiōnios g166)
Éstos irán al castigo eterno, y los justos a la vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
Teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember that [by the Spirit] I will be with you always, until the end of [this] age.” (aiōn g165)
Enséñenles a guardar todas las cosas que les he mandado. Y ciertamente Yo estoy con ustedes todos los días hasta el fin de la era. (aiōn g165)
they desire to be rich, and they desire to own many other things. So they worry [only] about material things. The result is that they forget [God’s] message and they do not do [the things that God wants them to do]. (aiōn g165)
pero los afanes de la era presente, el engaño de las riquezas y la codicia por las demás cosas, aplastan la Palabra y no la dejan dar fruto. (aiōn g165)
[So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
Si tu mano te causa tropiezo, córtala. Mejor te es entrar manco en la vida, que con las dos manos ir al infierno, al fuego inextinguible. (Geenna g1067)
If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
Y si tu pie te causa tropiezo, córtalo. Más te vale entrar cojo en la vida que con los dos pies ser echado al infierno. (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Si tu ojo te causa tropiezo, sácalo. Mejor te es entrar tuerto en el reino de Dios, que con los dos ojos ser echado al infierno, (Geenna g1067)
As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
Cuando Él salió al camino, uno llegó de prisa, se postró ante Él y le preguntó: Maestro bueno, ¿qué hago para heredar vida eterna? (aiōnios g166)
will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
[But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
Entonces Jesús dijo [a la higuera]: ¡De ahora en adelante para siempre, nadie coma fruto de ti! Y sus discípulos escuchaban. (aiōn g165)
He will be the King of [the] Jews, the descendants [MTY] of [your ancestor] Jacob, forever. He will rule as king forever!” (aiōn g165)
Reinará sobre la casa de Jacob por los siglos y su reino no tendrá fin. (aiōn g165)

Como habló por boca de sus santos profetas, desde tiempo antiguo: (aiōn g165)

[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
Y tú, Cafarnaúm, ¿serás exaltada hasta el cielo? ¡Hasta el infierno te hundirás! (Hadēs g86)

De repente un doctor de la Ley apareció para probarlo y preguntó: Maestro, ¿qué haré para heredar [la] vida eterna? (aiōnios g166)

Les advertiré a quién deben temer: Teman a Aquél que mata y tiene poder para echar en el infierno. Sí, les digo: teman a Éste. (Geenna g1067)
When his master [heard what the manager had done], he admired the dishonest manager for the clever thing he had done. [The truth] is that the ungodly people in this world act more wisely toward other people than godly people [MET] act. (aiōn g165)

[So] I tell you [(pl)] this: Use the money that you have [here] on earth to help others so that they will become your friends. Then when [you die and] you cannot [take] any money with you, [God and his angels] will welcome you into a home [in heaven] that will last forever. (aiōnios g166)

Those who trust in [God’s] Son have eternal life. But those who reject God’s Son will never have [eternal] life. Instead, God is angry with them [and he will surely punish them]. (aiōnios g166)
El que cree en el Hijo tiene vida eterna, pero el que desobedece al Hijo no verá [la] vida. Al contrario, la ira de Dios permanece sobre él. (aiōnios g166)
[If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
El que cosecha recibe salario y recoge fruto para vida eterna. Así el que siembra y el que cosecha se regocijan juntamente. (aiōnios g166)
Listen to this carefully: Those who hear my message and believe that [God] is the one who sent me have eternal life. [God will] not (condemn them/say that he will punish them). They are no longer separated from God. Instead, they have [eternal] life. (aiōnios g166)
En verdad, en verdad les digo: El que oye mi Palabra y cree al que me envió, tiene vida eterna. No va a juicio, sino pasa de la muerte a la vida. (aiōnios g166)

Stop desiring food that will soon spoil! Instead, desire to get [spiritual] food that will last forever! Yearn for eternal life! That is what I, the one who came from heaven, will give you. God [my] Father has shown that he approves of me [enabling me to do that].” (aiōnios g166)
No trabajen por la comida que perece, sino por la que permanece para vida eterna, la cual el Hijo del Hombre les dará, porque el Padre Dios selló a Éste. (aiōnios g166)
[Long ago in the desolate area when those who were bitten by snakes looked at the bronze replica of a snake, they were healed] [MET].

Simón Pedro le respondió: Señor, ¿a quién iremos? Tienes Palabras de vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever. [Similarly, you say you are members of God’s family because you are descendants of Abraham, but really, because you are like slaves of your sinful desires, you are no longer permanent members of God’s family]. (aiōn g165)
El esclavo no permanece en casa para siempre. El hijo permanece para siempre. (aiōn g165)

What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn g165)
Entonces la gente le respondió: Por la Ley sabemos que el Cristo permanece para siempre. ¿Cómo dices Tú que es necesario que el Hijo del Hombre sea levantado? ¿Quién es este Hijo del Hombre? (aiōn g165)

Yo rogaré al Padre y les dará otro Intercesor, a fin de que esté con ustedes para siempre: (aiōn g165)
You gave me authority over all people, in order that I might enable all those whom you chose [to come] to me to live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
por cuanto le concediste autoridad sobre toda persona, para que otorgue vida eterna a todos los que le diste. (aiōnios g166)
[The way for people] to live eternally is for them to know that you are the only true God, and to know that [I], Jesus, am the Messiah, the one you have sent. (aiōnios g166)
Ésta es la vida eterna: que te conozcan como [el] único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo, a Quien enviaste. (aiōnios g166)
You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
Pues no abandonará mi alma en el sepulcro, Ni permitirá que su Santo pase a corrupción. (Hadēs g86)
David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
Después de preverlo, habló sobre la resurrección de Cristo, que no fue dejado en [el] sepulcro, ni su cuerpo pasó a corrupción. (Hadēs g86)
Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
Quien ciertamente debe permanecer en el cielo hasta los tiempos de [la] restauración de todas las cosas, de las que Dios habló desde tiempo antiguo por medio de sus santos profetas. (aiōn g165)
Then, speaking very boldly, Paul and Barnabas said [to those Jewish leaders], “[We two] had to speak the message from God [about Jesus] to you [Jews] first [before we proclaim it to non-Jews, because God commanded us to do that. But] you are rejecting God’s message. [By doing that], you have shown that you are not worthy (to have eternal life/to live eternally [with God]). [Therefore], we are leaving [you, and now we] will go to the non-Jewish people [to tell them the message from God]. (aiōnios g166)
Pablo y Bernabé hablaron con toda osadía: Era necesario que se hablara la Palabra de Dios primero a ustedes. Pero como la rechazan y se juzgan indignos de la vida eterna, de inmediato nos vamos a los gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful.

Al oírlo los gentiles se gozaban y glorificaban la Palabra del Señor. Creyeron todos los que estaban destinados para vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
I [caused my people to know about them] long ago.” (aiōn g165)
se conozcan desde [la] eternidad. (aiōn g165)
[People] cannot see what God is like. But ever since he created the world, by means of what he created he has clearly revealed what he is like. He has made clear to everyone that he has always been able to do very powerful things. [Therefore, we should recognize that] God is powerful, [completely different from all that he created]. So no one has a basis for saying, [“We never knew about God].” (aïdios g126)
Porque desde la creación del mundo las cosas invisibles de Él, su eterno poder y deidad, se ven con claridad y se entienden por medio de las cosas hechas, de modo que no tienen excusa. (aïdios g126)
Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God. They worshipped and served things [that God] created instead of [worshipping and serving God himself], the one who created [everything. They did this even though] he [deserves that those he created] would forever praise him. Amen!/May it be so! (aiōn g165)
Éstos cambiaron la verdad de Dios por la mentira, reverenciaron y sirvieron a la criatura y no al Creador, Quien es bendito por los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
[Specifically], some people, by continuing to doing good things, strive to be highly honored [by God] [DOU] and to receive a life that will not end. [God will reward them by enabling them] to live forever. (aiōnios g166)
Vida eterna para los que perseveran en hacer el bien y buscan gloria, honor e inmortalidad. (aiōnios g166)
He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios g166)
a fin de que como el pecado reinó para muerte, así también la gracia reine por medio de [la] justicia para vida eterna por medio de Jesucristo nuestro Señor. (aiōnios g166)
But you have been freed {[God] has freed you} from [letting the desire to] sin control you. You have become [as though you are] [MET] the slaves of God. So now the result is that God has caused you to completely belong to him and, as a result, you will live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Pero ahora, ya libres del pecado y esclavizados a Dios, tienen su fruto para santificación, y el fin, vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
[What people receive for] sinning [is that they are] eternally separated from God. That is [like] wages that [people receive] [MET]. But what God gives us is a gift. What he gives us is that we live eternally because of [our relationship with] (OR, because [we are united to]) Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
Porque la consecuencia del pecado es muerte, pero el regalo de Dios es vida eterna en Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor. (aiōnios g166)
It was our ancestors, [Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whom God chose to found our nation]. And, [most importantly], it was from us Israelites that the Messiah received his human nature. [Nevertheless, most of my fellow Israelites have rejected Christ], who is the one who controls all things! He is God, the one who is worthy that we praise him forever! This is true! (OR, Amen!) (aiōn g165)
de quienes son los patriarcas, y de los cuales, según [el ]cuerpo, es Cristo, Quien es Dios sobre todas las cosas, bendito por los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
“Or [you should not think inwardly], ‘(Someone will have to go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are!/Who will go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go down and] bring Christ up [from there to bring the message of salvation to us. You should not say that because Christ has already come down to save us, and has already become alive after he died]! (Abyssos g12)
O, ¿quién bajará al Seol? Es decir, para resucitar a Cristo de entre [los] muertos. (Abyssos g12)
God has declared and proved that all people, [both Jews and non-Jews] [MET], disobey ([him/his laws]). He has declared that because he wants to act mercifully towards us all. (eleēsē g1653)
Porque Dios encerró a todos en desobediencia para tener misericordia de todos. (eleēsē g1653)
God [is the one who created] all things. He is also the one who [sustains all things]. The reason that he created them was that [everything he created might praise] him. May [all people] honor him forever! (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
Porque de Él, por medio de Él y en Él son todas las cosas. ¡A Él sea la gloria por los siglos! Amén. (aiōn g165)
Do not let anything non-Christian determine how you should act. Instead, let God change your [way of life] by making your way of thinking new, in order that you may know what he wants you to do. That is, you will know what is good, and you will know what pleases [God], and you will know how to be all that he wants you to be. (aiōn g165)
No sean moldeados por este mundo, sino sean transformados por la renovación de la mente, para que comprueben la voluntad de Dios, la cual es buena, aceptable y perfecta. (aiōn g165)
As [I] proclaim [the good message about] Jesus Christ, [I tell about God], the one who is able to strengthen you [spiritually]. I also proclaim the [truth] that was not revealed {which [God] did not reveal} in all previous ages/times (aiōnios g166)
Al que puede establecerlos según las Buenas Noticias y la proclamación de Jesucristo, según [la] revelación del misterio guardado en secreto desde tiempos eternos, (aiōnios g166)
but which has now been {which [he] has now} revealed. [I, along with others, have proclaimed] what the prophets wrote [about Christ]. We are doing what the eternal God commanded [us(exc)/me to do]. We want [people in] all ethnic groups to know [Christ] so that they can believe [in him] and obey [him]. (aiōnios g166)
pero manifestado ahora por medio de [las ]Escrituras proféticas, según [el] Mandamiento del Dios eterno, que fue dado a conocer a todos los gentiles para que obedezcan a [la ]fe, (aiōnios g166)
[I desire that by] Jesus Christ [enabling us, we] will forever praise the one who alone is God, who alone is [truly] wise. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
al único sabio Dios, sea la gloria por medio de Jesucristo, por los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
So, do you know [what God thinks] about what [RHQ] people who [IRO] consider themselves to be wise and scholars and philosophers say? [He does not pay attention to what they say, because] [RHQ] he has shown clearly that what unbelievers [think is] [IRO] wise is [not wise at all], but is really foolish. (aiōn g165)
¿Dónde está [el] sabio? ¿Dónde [el] escriba? ¿Dónde [el] polemista de este mundo? ¿Dios no transformó la sabiduría del mundo en necedad? (aiōn g165)
I do teach a message that people who are [spiritually] mature [consider to] be wise. But I do not teach a message that unbelievers [consider to be] wise. I also do not teach a message that unbelieving rulers in the world consider to be wise. [What they think about it does not matter], because [some day] (they will lose their power/not be ruling any more). (aiōn g165)
Sin embargo, hablamos sabiduría entre los que son maduros en la fe. No sabiduría de este tiempo, ni de los señores de este mundo que perecen. (aiōn g165)
Instead, I teach about what God planned wisely [long ago]. It is something that people did not know about previously because [God] did not reveal it previously. But God determined before he created the world that he would greatly benefit us by his wise plan. (aiōn g165)
Hablamos sabiduría oculta de Dios, la escondida, la cual Dios predestinó antes de los siglos para nuestro resplandor, (aiōn g165)
None of those who rule this world knew that wise plan. If they had known it, they would not have nailed our wonderful Lord to the cross. (aiōn g165)
el cual ninguno de los señores de este mundo entendió, porque si [lo] entendieran, no habrían crucificado al Señor de [la] gloria. (aiōn g165)
Some among you think that you are wise because unbelievers thought you were wise previously. Stop deceiving yourselves. [If you really want to be wise, by accepting what God considers to be wise] you should [be willing to let unbelievers consider that you are] foolish [IRO]. (aiōn g165)
Nadie se engañe. Si alguno de ustedes supone que es sabio en este mundo, vuélvase necio para que sea sabio. (aiōn g165)
So if [I, Paul, think that by] eating a certain food I might cause a fellow believer to be ruined spiritually, I will never eat such food again. I do not want to cause any fellow believer (to be ruined spiritually/to stop believing in Christ). [And you should] ([do as I do/imitate my example]). (aiōn g165)
Por tanto, si una comida es tropiezo para mi hermano, ¡no suceda jamás que yo coma carne, para que no sea tropiezo a mi hermano! (aiōn g165)
All those things [that happened to our ancestors long ago] are examples for us. [Moses] wrote those things to warn us [who are living at this time which is near the end]. We are the people for whom God has done [the things that he decided to do in] the previous periods of time. (aiōn g165)
Estas cosas les sucedieron como ejemplo, y fueron escritas como amonestación para nosotros, los que vivimos el fin de los tiempos. (aiōn g165)
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs g86)
¿Dónde está, oh muerte, tu aguijón? ¿Dónde, oh sepulcro, tu victoria? (Hadēs g86)
[Satan, who is] the one [who rules] this world, controls the thoughts of those unbelievers. He prevents them from understanding the message about how wonderful Christ is. [They are not able to understand that] Jesus is like God [in every way]. (aiōn g165)
El dios de este mundo cegó las mentes de los incrédulos para que no vean la iluminación de las Buenas Noticias de la gloria de Cristo, Quien es [la ]Imagen de Dios. (aiōn g165)
[I know that] all these troubles that [happen to us in this life are] not significant and will not last forever. [When we think of] the glorious things [that God is preparing] for us [to enjoy] forever [in heaven], all [our suffering now] is not important. (aiōnios g166)
Porque esta leve aflicción momentánea se nos reproduce en un peso eterno de resplandor de extraordinaria calidad, (aiōnios g166)
That is why we say, “We will not continue thinking about [all the suffering that we] are experiencing now. Even though [we] cannot see [all the things that God has prepared for us in heaven], those are what we should be thinking about.” [That is how we should think], because [all these troubles] that [we(exc)] have [now] will last only a short time. But what [we will have in heaven], what [we] cannot see [now], will last forever. (aiōnios g166)
al nosotros no mirar las cosas que se ven, sino las que no se ven. Porque las que se ven son temporales, pero las que no se ven son eternas. (aiōnios g166)
We know that [these bodies] we live in [here in this world are like] [MET] tents. [They are like temporary living/dwelling places]. [So we should not be concerned about what happens to our bodies]. We know that if we are killed {if [someone] kills us}, God will give us [permanent living places. Those permanent living places] [MET] will not be houses that people have made. They [will be new bodies in which we will live forever] in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
Sabemos que si se deshace nuestra casa terrenal, este tabernáculo, tenemos un edificio de Dios, una casa eterna en el cielo no hecha por manos. (aiōnios g166)
[Those who give willingly and cheerfully will be rewarded like the man about whom] it is written {[about whom] (someone/the Psalmist) wrote} in the Scriptures, He generously [helps others], [he gives to those] who are poor. [God will remember] the good things that he did, [and reward him with] good things forever. (aiōn g165)
Como está escrito: Distribuyó, dio a los pobres. Su justicia permanece para siempre. (aiōn g165)
God, who is the Father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus, and who is the one [whom we should] praise forever, knows that I am not lying [about this]. (aiōn g165)
El Dios y Padre de Jesucristo, Quien es bendito por los siglos, sabe que no miento. (aiōn g165)
Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] in order that [he might remove the guilt for] our sins. He did that in order that he might enable us to not [do the evil things that people who do not know him] do. [He did this] because God, who is our Father, wanted it. (aiōn g165)
Quien se dio por nuestros pecados para librarnos de la presente era perversa, según la voluntad de nuestro Dios y Padre, (aiōn g165)
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
a Quien sea la gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
[God] will punish eternally those who do what their self-directed natures urge them to do. But those who please [God’s] Spirit will live forever [with God] because of what [God’s] Spirit does for them. (aiōnios g166)
Porque el que siembra para su naturaleza humana, de la naturaleza humana cosechará corrupción, pero el que siembra para el Espíritu, del Espíritu cosechará vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
[There], Christ is the supreme ruler over every powerful spirit of every level of authority. His rank is much higher than any powerful spirit can receive, not only now, but forever. (aiōn g165)
sobre todo principado, autoridad, poder, señorío y todo nombre que se pronuncie, no solo en esta era sino también en la que viene. (aiōn g165)
You were acting in the same [evil] way as those who oppose Christ [MTY] act. That is, you were behaving in the [evil] ways [that Satan wanted you to behave]. He rules over evil spiritual beings that no person can see [MTY]. He is the spirit who now powerfully controls the people who disobey God. (aiōn g165)
en los cuales vivieron en otro tiempo según la conducta de este mundo, conforme al príncipe de la jurisdicción del aire, el espíritu que ahora obra en los hijos de la desobediencia. (aiōn g165)
in order that he might show to everyone at all times in the future that he has acted toward us in an extremely kind way because of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. (aiōn g165)
para mostrar en los siglos que vienen la superabundante riqueza de su gracia, por bondad hacia nosotros en Cristo Jesús. (aiōn g165)
and to enable everyone to understand clearly how God accomplished what he planned. God, who created everything, [has now revealed] this message, which he never revealed to anyone before. (aiōn g165)
y de sacar a luz cuál es la administración del misterio escondido desde los siglos en Dios, Quien creó todas las cosas, (aiōn g165)
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn g165)
según el plan de las edades, que hizo en Cristo Jesús, el Señor nuestro, (aiōn g165)
Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, may all (believers/those who belong to him) praise him forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
a Él sea la gloria en la iglesia y en Cristo Jesús, por todas las generaciones del siglo de los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
You must do this because the fighting that we [believers] do is not only against human beings [SYN]. Instead, we are also fighting against evil spirits who rule and have authority over all that is evil [MET] in the world. And we are fighting against evil spirits who are in heavenly places (OR, everywhere). (aiōn g165)
Porque no tenemos lucha contra carne y sangre, sino contra los principados, las circunscripciones, los gobernadores de este mundo de la oscuridad y contra las huestes espirituales en los [planes] celestiales. (aiōn g165)
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn g165)
Al Dios y Padre nuestro sea la gloria, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
[We did not know this message previously; that is, God] concealed it from [the people who lived in all] the previous ages, but he has now revealed it to his people. (aiōn g165)
el misterio escondido desde los siglos y generaciones, pero ahora manifestado a sus santos, (aiōn g165)
[Our Lord Jesus] will forbid them from ever coming near to him and near to the glory which he has [because he is so] powerful (OR, the glory that is manifested by his power). He will cause those people to suffer forever. (aiōnios g166)
Éstos sufrirán pena de eterna ruina lejos de la presencia del Señor y de la gloria de su poder, (aiōnios g166)
Our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, our Father, loves us and encourages us and causes us to confidently expect [to receive] the eternal things that [he has promised to give to us] as a result of [Christ] acting kindly toward us in a way we did not deserve. (aiōnios g166)
El mismo Señor nuestro, Jesucristo, y Dios nuestro Padre, Quien nos amó y nos dio consolación eterna y buena esperanza por gracia, (aiōnios g166)
Yet Christ Jesus acted mercifully to me in order that he might demonstrate [to people that he is perfectly patient with them]. He did that by his being patient with me, one who has sinned worse than everyone else. He wanted what he did for me (to be an example/to demonstrate his patience) to people who would [later] believe in him, and as a result would live forever. (aiōnios g166)
Pero por esto [me ]fue otorgada misericordia, a fin de que Cristo Jesús demuestre toda longanimidad primero en mí como ejemplo de los que creerían en Él para vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
I desire that people will honor and praise the only [true] God forever! Even though no one can see him, he is the King who rules for all time, who will never die! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
Por tanto, al Rey de los siglos, inmortal, invisible, al único Dios, sean [el ]honor y [la ]gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
Try earnestly and with all your energy/strength [MET] to live in accordance with what you believe. [Continue to do your tasks well in order that] you will know for sure that you will live eternally. Remember that [God] chose you to [live with him], and that when many elders were listening you said strongly ([what you believe/that you trust in Christ]). (aiōnios g166)
Pelea la buena batalla de la fe. Agarra la vida eterna a la cual fuiste llamado, de la cual hiciste buena confesión delante de muchos testigos. (aiōnios g166)
He is the only one who will never die, [and he lives in heaven surrounded by] light [that is so bright that] no one can approach it! He is the one whom no person has ever seen and whom no person is able to see! My desire is that all people will honor him and that he [will rule] powerfully [MTY] forever! (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōnios g166)
el Único que tiene inmortalidad, que mora en luz inaccesible, a Quien ninguno de [los] humanos vio, ni puede ver. A Él sea honor y soberanía eterna. Amén. (aiōnios g166)
Tell [the believers] who are rich here in this present world that they should not be proud, and that they should not trust in their many [possessions], because they cannot be certain [how long they will have them]. Teach them that instead of [trusting in their wealth, they should trust] in God. He is the one who generously gives us everything we have in order that we may enjoy it. (aiōn g165)
Instruye a los ricos de este mundo a no ser arrogantes ni poner su esperanza en riquezas inciertas, sino en Dios, Quien nos provee abundantemente todas las cosas para que las disfrutemos. (aiōn g165)
[God] saved us and chose us to conduct our lives in a pure way. It was not our doing good deeds/actions [that caused him to do this for us—something] that we did not deserve. Instead, before (time began/he created the world) he purposed/planned to [be kind to us] as a result of what Christ Jesus [would do for us]. (aiōnios g166)
Quien nos salvó y llamó con vocación santa, no según nuestras obras, sino según su propio propósito y gracia que nos fue dada en Cristo Jesús antes de [los ]tiempos eternos. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I [willingly] endure all [that I am suffering] for the sake of those [whom God has] chosen. [I do this] in order that Christ Jesus will save them, too, and that they will be forever with [him in the] glorious [place where he is]. (aiōnios g166)
Por tanto todo lo soporto por amor a los escogidos para que ellos también obtengan salvación de Cristo Jesús con gloria eterna. (aiōnios g166)
[I say that] because Demas has left me. He wanted very much [the good things that he might enjoy] [MTY] in this world [right now], and so he went to Thessalonica [city]. Crescens [went to serve the Lord] in Galatia [province], and Titus went to Dalmatia [district]. (aiōn g165)
porque Demas, al amar al mundo de ahora, me desamparó y fue a Tesalónica, Crescente, a Galacia y Tito, a Dalmacia. (aiōn g165)
[Therefore, I am sure that] the Lord will rescue me from everything that is truly evil and will bring me safely to heaven, where he rules. Praise him forever! (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
El Señor me librará de toda obra mala y me preservará para su reino celestial. A Él sea la gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
[As a result of my doing these things, his people] confidently expect that God will cause them to live forever. God, who never lies, promised before he created the world that [his people] would live forever. (aiōnios g166)
con respecto a [la] esperanza de vida eterna, la cual Dios, Quien no miente, prometió antes de [los ]tiempos eternos. (aiōnios g166)
God teaches/tells us [PRS] how to stop doing what he dislikes, and to stop desiring the things that (ungodly people/people who habitually do things that do not please God) desire [MTY]. He wants us to control our behavior and to do what is right and to do what pleases him while we live in this present age/time. (aiōn g165)
y nos enseñó que, después de apartarnos de la impiedad y de las pasiones mundanas, vivamos sobria, justa y piadosamente en el mundo presente, (aiōn g165)
He wanted to erase the record of our sins even though we did not deserve that, and he wanted us to receive all that [God desires] to give us. [These are the things that we] confidently expect to receive when we live [with him] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
para que, justificados por aquella gracia, seamos herederos según [la ]promesa de vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
Perhaps the reason that [God permitted] Onesimus to be separated from {to leave} you for a little while was that [he would believe in Christ, and as a result] you would have him (back/with you) forever! (aiōnios g166)
Porque probablemente por esto se apartó de ti por un tiempo, a fin de que lo recibas para siempre, (aiōnios g166)
But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn g165)
En estos últimos días nos habló por medio del Hijo, a Quien declaró Heredero de todas las cosas, por medio de Quien también hizo los universos, (aiōn g165)
But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn g165)
Pero del Hijo [dijo]: Tu trono, oh Dios, es por el siglo del siglo, Y el cetro de tu reino es cetro de justicia. (aiōn g165)
And he also said [to Christ what the Psalmist wrote] in another Scripture passage, You are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn g165)
Como también dice en otro pasaje: Tú eres sacerdote para siempre Según el orden de Melquisedec. (aiōn g165)
By becoming (all [that] God intended him to be/perfect), [he has now] become fully qualified [to be our Supreme Priest. As a result, he is the one who saves] eternally all who obey him. (aiōnios g166)
Después de perfeccionarse, se transformó en fuente de eterna salvación para todos los que le obedecen. (aiōnios g166)
[I am referring to the teaching about what] various [Jewish and Christian] rituals for purifying people [signify. I am referring to the teaching about how elders enable people to receive spiritual gifts by] laying hands [on them] [MTY]. [I am referring to the teaching that God will] ([cause] those who have died to live again/raise people from the dead). And [I am referring to the teaching that God] will judge [some people and punish them] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
de [la ]doctrina de bautismos, de [la ]imposición de manos, de [la ]resurrección de los muertos y del juicio eterno. (aiōnios g166)
They have experienced that God’s message is good. And by what they have experienced [now], they know how [God will work] powerfully in the future. If those people reject [the message about Christ], it will not be possible for anyone to persuade them to turn away from their sinful behavior again! (aiōn g165)
saborearon la buena Palabra de Dios y [los ]poderes de [la ]era venidera, (aiōn g165)
Jesus went [into God’s presence] ahead of us [(inc)] to [help] us when he became a Supreme Priest eternally in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest. (aiōn g165)
donde Jesús entró por nosotros como Precursor, después de ser declarado Sumo Sacerdote para siempre según el orden de Melquisedec. (aiōn g165)
[We know this] since [God] confirmed it in [the Scripture passage in which he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn g165)
Pues se da testimonio: Tú eres Sacerdote para siempre Según el orden de Melquisedec. (aiōn g165)
However, when he [appointed Christ to be a priest], it was by these words that [the Psalmist wrote in Scripture]: The Lord has solemnly declared [to the Messiah], —and he will not change his mind— “You will be a priest forever!” (aiōn g165)
pero Éste, con el juramento del que le dice: [El] Señor juró y no cambiará de parecer: Tú eres sacerdote para siempre. (aiōn g165)
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
Pero [Jesús], por cuanto permanece para siempre, tiene un sacerdocio inmutable. (aiōn g165)
[We need a Supreme Priest like] him, because in the laws [that God gave Moses] [PRS] the ones who would be appointed to be priests would be men who tended [to sin easily]. But [God] solemnly [declared] [PRS] after [he had given] his laws [to Moses] that [he would appoint] (his Son/the man who is also God) [to be a Supreme Priest. Now] ([his Son/the man who is also God]) has forever become all that God intends him to be. (aiōn g165)
Porque la Ley designa como sumos sacerdotes a hombres que tienen debilidad, pero la Palabra del juramento, que es posterior a la Ley, [designa] al Hijo declarado perfecto para siempre. (aiōn g165)
[When a Supreme Priest goes into the inner room in the tent each year, he takes] goats’ blood and calves’ blood [to offer as a sacrifice]. But Christ did not [do that. It was as though] he went into that very holy place only once, taking his own blood with him. By doing that, he eternally redeemed us. (aiōnios g166)
ni por medio de sangre de machos cabríos y becerros, sino por medio de su propia sangre, después de obtener eterna redención, entró una vez por todas en el Lugar Santísimo. (aiōnios g166)
[So, because we know what] Christ [accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died for us] [PRS, MTY], we will be very certain that we are not guilty [of having] done those things [that those who are spiritually] dead do. [As a result], we can serve God, who is all-powerful. [The priests always offer to God animals] with no defects. Similarly, when Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] to God, he was sinless [MET]. He did that as a result of [God’s] eternal Spirit [helping him]. (aiōnios g166)
¡cuánto más la sangre de Cristo, Quien se ofreció Él mismo sin mancha a Dios por medio del Espíritu eterno, limpiará nuestra conciencia de obras muertas para servir al Dios vivo! (aiōnios g166)
[By] dying [for us], [Christ] ([redeemed/] free from the penalty for their sins) even those who disobeyed the [conditions of] (OR, [during the time of]) the first covenant. So, [because] no [one could be made perfect by obeying the old covenant], now Christ establishes [between God and people] a new covenant. He does that in order that those whom God has chosen may eternally have [the blessings that God] has promised them. (aiōnios g166)
Por esto es Mediador de un Nuevo Pacto, a fin de que al ocurrir [la] muerte para el perdón de las transgresiones que hubo en el primer Pacto, los llamados recibieran la promesa de la herencia eterna. (aiōnios g166)
[If that were so], he would have needed to suffer [and shed his blood] repeatedly since [the time when God] created the world. But instead, in this final age, [Christ] has appeared once in order that by sacrificing himself he could cause [that people] no longer will be [punished for their] sins. (aiōn g165)
De otra manera le hubiera sido necesario padecer muchas veces desde [la] fundación del mundo, pero ahora se presentó una vez por todas al fin de los siglos para remoción de pecado por medio del sacrificio de Él mismo. (aiōn g165)
It is because we trust in God that we understand that he formed the universe by commanding [it to exist]. The result is that the things that we see were not made from things that already existed. (aiōn g165)
Por fe entendemos que el universo fue creado por la Palabra de Dios, de modo que lo que se ve fue hecho de lo invisible. (aiōn g165)
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn g165)
Jesucristo es el mismo ayer, hoy y por los siglos. (aiōn g165)
Jesus [provides for us], [protects us, and guides us as] a great shepherd does for his sheep [MET]. And God, who gives us [inner] peace, brought our Lord Jesus back to life. By doing that, God ratified his eternal covenant with us by the blood [that flowed from Jesus when he died on the] cross. (aiōnios g166)
El Dios de paz, Quien resucitó de entre [los] muertos a nuestro Señor Jesús, el excelente Pastor de las ovejas, por [la] sangre del Pacto eterno, (aiōnios g166)
So I pray that God will equip you with everything good [that you need in order] that you may do the things that he desires. May he accomplish in our lives whatever he considers pleasing as a result of Jesus Christ [equipping us]. May Jesus Christ be praised forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
los haga completos en todo lo bueno para que hagan la voluntad de Él, y [Él] haga en ustedes lo agradable delante de Él por medio de Jesucristo, a Quien sea la gloria por los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
[Just like a fire damages a forest] [MET], when we say things that are evil, [we harm many people]. What we say [MTY] reveals that we are very evil. What we say contaminates/defiles everything that we think and do [PRS, MET]. [Just like a flame of fire easily] causes [the whole surrounding area] [MET] to burn, what we say [MTY] can cause [others] to want to do evil. It is the devil himself [MTY] who causes us to say evil things. (Geenna g1067)
La lengua es un fuego, un mundo de iniquidad. Está puesta entre nuestros miembros, contamina todo el cuerpo, incendia el curso de la vida y es encendida por el infierno. (Geenna g1067)
[I ask you to do this, because you now have] a new life [MET]. It was not [by means of] something that will perish that you received this new life. Instead, it was [by means of] something that will last forever; that is, by believing the life-giving and enduring message of God. (aiōn g165)
No renacieron de una simiente corruptible, sino incorruptible, por medio de [la] Palabra de Dios, que vive y permanece para siempre. (aiōn g165)
but God’s message endures/lasts forever. This message [that endures/lasts] is the message [about Christ] that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn g165)
Pero la Palabra del Señor permanece para siempre. Ésta es la Palabra que se les predicó a ustedes por medio de las Buenas Noticias. (aiōn g165)
Those who speak [to the congregation] should do that as though they are speaking the [very] words of God. Those who do kind things to others should do it with the strength that God gives them, in order that God may be honored by all this {that all this may honor God} as Jesus Christ [enables us to do it. I pray that we will] praise [God] (OR, [Jesus]) and allow him [to rule over us] forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
Si alguno habla, hable según las Palabras de Dios. Si alguno ministra, [hágalo] según el poder que Dios suministra para que en todo Dios sea glorificado por medio de Jesucristo, a Quien pertenecen la gloria y la soberanía por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
God is the one who kindly helps us in every [situation], and [he is the one] who chose us to share his eternal glory/greatness [in heaven] because of our relationship with Christ. [And] after you have suffered for a while [because of things that people do to harm you], he will remove your spiritual defects/imperfections, he will strengthen you [spiritually] [DOU], and he will support you [emotionally]. (aiōnios g166)
El Dios de toda gracia, Quien los llamó a su gloria eterna en Cristo, después que padezcan un poco, Él mismo [los] perfeccionará, confirmará, fortalecerá y establecerá. (aiōnios g166)
[I pray/desire that] he will [rule] powerfully forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
A Él sea la soberanía por los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios g166)
Porque de esta manera se les proveerá amplia entrada en el reino eterno de nuestro Señor y Salvador Jesucristo. (aiōnios g166)
God destroyed [LIT] the angels who sinned. He threw them into the worst place in hell and imprisoned them [there] in darkness in order to keep them there until he judges [and punishes them]. (Tartaroō g5020)
Porque si Dios no perdonó a [los] ángeles que pecaron, sino los arrojó al infierno y [los] entregó a cadenas de oscuridad, reservados para juicio; (Tartaroō g5020)
[Instead, live in such a manner that you] experience more and more our Savior Jesus Christ being kind [to you], and that you get to know him [better and better]. 2 Peter 3:18b [I pray/desire that Jesus Christ] will be honored both now and forever! (aiōn g165)
Crezcan en gracia y conocimiento de nuestro Señor y Salvador Jesucristo. A Él sea la gloria tanto ahora como en [el] día de [la] eternidad. (aiōn g165)
Because he came here [to the earth] and we have seen him, we proclaim to you clearly that the one whom we have seen is the [one who] has always lived. He was [previously] with his Father in heaven, but he came to live among us. (aiōnios g166)
(porque la Vida se manifestó y [La] vimos), testificamos. Les anunciamos la Vida eterna, la cual estaba ante el Padre y se nos manifestó. (aiōnios g166)
The [godless people in] the world [MTY], along with what they desire, will disappear, but those who do what God wants [them to do] will live forever! You know that it is now the final period of this age when there are liars who deny that Jesus is God’s Chosen One. But you have the power of God’s Spirit and you know what is true and what is false. So continue to live according to the true message that you heard when you began to believe in Christ, in order that you may continue to live united both to God’s Son and to the Father. (aiōn g165)
El mundo pasa, y sus deseos ardientes, pero el que hace la voluntad de Dios permanece para siempre. (aiōn g165)
And what God told us is that [he will cause us] to live forever! (aiōnios g166)
Ésta es la promesa que Él mismo nos ofreció: la vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
Those who hate [any of] their fellow believers, [God considers] [MET] them [to be] murderers. And you know that no murderer has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Todo el que aborrece a su hermano es homicida. [Ustedes] saben que ningún homicida tiene vida eterna permanente en él. (aiōnios g166)
This is what [God] says [to us]: “I have given you eternal life!” We will live forever if we have a close relationship with his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Éste es el testimonio: Que Dios nos dio vida eterna, y esta vida está en su Hijo. (aiōnios g166)
I have written this [letter] to you who believe that Jesus is [MTY] (God’s Son/the one who is also God) in order that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Estas cosas les escribí a los que creen en el Nombre del Hijo de Dios, para que sepan que tienen vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
We also know that (God’s Son/the one who is also God) has come [to us], and [we know] that he has enabled us to know God, the one who is really/truly God. So now we have a close relationship with [God because] we belong to Jesus Christ, the one who is the (Son of/man who is also) God. Jesus Christ is truly God, and [he is the one who enables us to have] eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Pero sabemos que el Hijo de Dios vino y nos dio entendimiento para que conozcamos al Verdadero. Y estamos en el Verdadero: en su Hijo Jesucristo. Éste es el verdadero Dios y Vida Eterna. (aiōnios g166)
All of us [believe God’s] true message. It is in our ([inner beings/hearts]) and we will continue [to believe it] forever! (aiōn g165)
por medio de la Verdad que permanece en nosotros y se quedará para siempre con nosotros. (aiōn g165)
And there were [many] angels to [whom God assigned/gave positions of authority in heaven]. But many did not continue to rule with authority [in those positions]. Instead, they abandoned the place that [God] gave them to live [in heaven]. So God has put those angels in chains forever in the darkness [in hell. They will stay there] until the great day when [God] will judge [and punish] them. (aïdios g126, questioned)
A los ángeles que no guardaron su esfera de influencia, sino abandonaron su propia morada, ha mantenido bajo oscuridad en prisiones eternas, para [el] juicio del gran día. (aïdios g126)
Similarly, the people who lived [MTY] in Sodom and Gomorrah [cities] and the nearby cities committed sexual immorality. They sought all kinds of sexual relations that differ [from what God permits. So God destroyed their cities. What happened to those people and those angels] shows that [God will] punish [people, such as the ones who teach false doctrine], in the eternal fire [of hell]. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
Como Sodoma y Gomorra, y las ciudades alrededor de ellas, las cuales, de la misma manera que éstos, por practicar inmoralidad sexual e ir en pos de otra carne, son exhibidas como ejemplo y sufrieron un castigo de fuego eterno. (aiōnios g166)
They are [restless] [MET], [like] the pounding waves of the ocean. [Just like] waves [produce foul-smelling] foam on the shore, [those teachers of false doctrine do] shameful [MTY] [deeds. We cannot depend/rely on them to show us how to conduct our lives] [MET], [just like we cannot depend/rely on] (meteors/falling stars) [to show us the way when we travel]. [God] has reserved intense darkness for them forever [in hell]. (aiōn g165, questioned)
salvajes olas de mar que espuman sus mismas obras vergonzosas, estrellas erráticas, para quienes fue reservada la más negra oscuridad para siempre! (aiōn g165)
Keep conducting your lives in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] God loves. Keep constantly expecting that our Lord Jesus Christ will [act] mercifully toward you. Keep expecting that until [the time when we begin] living eternally [with him]. (aiōnios g166)
consérvense en [el ]amor de Dios, acójanse a la misericordia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo para vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
He is the only true God. He has saved us as a result of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for us]. God was glorious and great and mighty and he [ruled] with great authority before time began. [He is still like that], and [he will remain like that] forever! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
al único Dios, nuestro Salvador, por medio de Jesucristo nuestro Señor, sea gloria, majestad, soberanía y autoridad, tanto antes de todos los siglos, como ahora y por todos los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
He is [the one who] has caused us to become people whose lives God rules, and he has made us to be priests [who serve] God his Father. [As a result of this, we acknowledge that] Jesus Christ is eternally divine and eternally powerful. (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
y nos estableció como un reino: sacerdotes para su Dios y Padre, a Él sea la gloria y la soberanía por los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn g165)
Cuando los seres vivientes daban gloria, honor y acción de gracias al que estaba sentado en el trono, al que vive por los siglos de los siglos, (aiōn g165)
Whenever they do that, the 24 elders (prostrate themselves/kneel down) before the one who sits on the throne, and they worship him, the one who lives forever. They lay their crowns in front of the throne and sing: (aiōn g165)
los 24 ancianos se postraban delante del que estaba sentado en el trono. Adoraban al que vive por los siglos de los siglos, ponían sus coronas delante del trono y decían: (aiōn g165)
I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (aiōn g165)
A toda criatura en el cielo, en la tierra, debajo de la tierra, en el mar y a todas las cosas que están en ellos, escuché que decían: ¡Alabanza, honra, gloria y soberanía al que está sentado En el trono, y al Cordero, por los siglos de los siglos! (aiōn g165)
This time I saw a pale horse [come out]. The one who sat on it is named ‘[The one who causes] death [PRS]’, and [the one that is named ‘The place where dead people go’] accompanied him. [God] gave them authority over one quarter of the people on earth to incite them to kill each other with weapons [SYN], and also authority to kill them (by [causing them to] starve, by [their causing them to become] sick from epidemics, and by [their causing them to be attacked by] wild animals. (Hadēs g86)
Miré, y ahí estaba un caballo pálido. Su jinete se llamaba Muerte, y el Hades seguía con él. Y le fue concedida autoridad sobre la cuarta parte de la tierra para matar con espada, hambre, pestilencia y las fieras de la tierra. (Hadēs g86)
They said, “May it be so! [We(exc)] praise, thank, and honor [you], our [(exc)] God, forever! [We(exc) acknowledge] that you are completely wise, the powerful one, who is forever able to accomplish everything he wants to. (May everyone acknowlege that it is so!/Amen!)” (aiōn g165)
y decían: ¡Amén! ¡La bendición, la gloria, la sabiduría, la acción de gracias, el honor, el poder y la fortaleza sean [atribuidos] A nuestro Dios por los siglos de los siglos! Amén. (aiōn g165)
The fifth angel blew his trumpet. Then I saw [an evil angel. He was like] a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. He was given {[Someone] gave him} the key to the shaft [that descended] ([to] the underworld/[to] the deep dark pit). (Abyssos g12)
El quinto ángel tocó la trompeta. Vi una estrella que caía del cielo a la tierra. Se le dio la llave del pozo del abismo y (Abyssos g12)
When he opened that shaft, smoke arose from it like smoke from a huge burning furnace. The smoke prevented [anyone from seeing] the sky and the light of the sun. (Abyssos g12)
lo abrió. Del pozo subió un humo, como el de un gran horno. El sol y el aire se oscurecieron a causa del humo del pozo. (Abyssos g12)
The king who ruled over them was the angel of the underworld. His name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon. In the Greek language it is Apollyon. [Both of] those names [mean ‘Destroyer’]. (Abyssos g12)
Su rey es el ángel del abismo, cuyo nombre en hebreo es Abadón, y en griego Apolión. (Abyssos g12)
and he asked the one who lives forever, the one who created heaven and everything that is in it, [who created] the earth and everything that is in it, and [who created] the ocean and everything that is in it, to affirm that what he said was true. [He said that he] would surely no longer delay [what he had planned to do]. (aiōn g165)
Juró por el que vive por los siglos de los siglos, Quien creó el cielo y las cosas que están en él, la tierra y las cosas que están en ella, y el mar y las cosas que están en él. [El ángel juró ]que ya no habrá demora, (aiōn g165)
When they have finished proclaiming [to people the message from God], the beast that comes up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit) will attack them, overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
Cuando terminen su testimonio, la bestia que sube del abismo hará guerra contra ellos. Los vencerá y los matará. (Abyssos g12)
Then the seventh angel blew [his trumpet]. Angels in heaven shouted loudly, “Our Lord [God] and the Messiah [whom he has appointed] can now govern [everyone in] [MTY] the world, and they will continue to rule people forever!” (aiōn g165)
El séptimo ángel tocó la trompeta, y se produjeron grandes voces en el cielo, que decían: ¡El reino del mundo es de nuestro Señor y de su Cristo, y reinará por los siglos de los siglos! (aiōn g165)
I saw another angel that was flying between the sky and heaven. He was bringing [God’s] eternal good message [to earth], in order that he might proclaim it to people who live on the earth. He will proclaim it to every nation, [to every] tribe, [to speakers of every] language [MTY], and [to every] people-[group]. (aiōnios g166)
Vi a otro ángel que volaba en medio del cielo, el cual tenía un evangelio eterno para proclamar a los que están asentados en la tierra, es decir, a toda nación, tribu, lengua y pueblo, (aiōnios g166)
The smoke [from the fire] that torments them will rise forever. [They will] be tormented {[God will] torment them} continually, day and night. [That is what will happen to] the people who worship the beast and its image and who allow its name to be marked on them {allow [its agent] to mark them with its name}.” (aiōn g165)
El humo de su tormento sube por [los] siglos de [los ]siglos. Los que adoran a la bestia y a su imagen, los que recibieron la marca de su nombre, no tienen reposo de día ni de noche. (aiōn g165)
One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn g165)
Uno de los cuatro seres vivientes dio a los siete ángeles siete copas de oro llenas del furor del Dios que vive por los siglos de los siglos. (aiōn g165)
The beast that you saw [lived] previously. Eventually God will destroy him, but now he is dead. He is [about to] come up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit). [When] the beast who had previously lived, and who then had died, reappears, the people who live on the earth will be amazed. [They are people whose] names were not in the book in which are written the names of people [who will] have eternal life. [The angels have been writing those names in a list] (from the beginning of the world/from the time when the world began). (Abyssos g12)
La bestia que viste era y no es. Está a punto de subir del abismo y va a perdición. Los que moran en la tierra, cuyos nombres no fueron escritos en el rollo de la vida desde [la] fundación del mundo, se asombrarán al ver a la bestia que era, no es y será. (Abyssos g12)
[The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn g165)
Por segunda vez dijeron: ¡Aleluya! El humo de ella sube por los siglos de los siglos. (aiōn g165)
The beast and the false prophet were captured {[He] captured the beast and the false prophet}. The false prophet is the one who had performed miracles in the beast’s presence. By doing that he had deceived the people who had accepted the beast’s mark [on their foreheads] and who worshipped its image. The beast and the false prophet were thrown {[He] threw the beast and the one who falsely said that he spoke messages that came directly from God} alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
I saw an angel coming down from heaven. He had the key to the deep dark pit, and he was carrying a large chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
Vi a un ángel que descendía del cielo. Tenía en su mano la llave del abismo y una gran cadena. (Abyssos g12)
The angel threw him into the deep dark pit. He shut [the door of the pit], locked it, and sealed it [to prevent anyone from opening it]. He did that in order that Satan might no longer deceive [the people of the] nations [MTY], until those 1,000 years are ended. After that [time], Satan must be released {[God/God’s angel] must release Satan} for a short time [in order that he can do what God has planned]. (Abyssos g12)
Lo lanzó. Cerró el abismo y puso un sello encima de él para que [el dragón ]ya no engañara a las naciones hasta que se cumplieran los 1.000 años. Después de esto debe ser desatado por poco tiempo. (Abyssos g12)
The devil, who had deceived those people, will be thrown {[God’s angel] will throw the devil, who had deceived those people} into the lake of burning sulfur. [This is the same lake] into which both the beast and the false prophet had been [thrown] {[he] had [thrown] both the beast and the false prophet}. [As a result], they will continually suffer severely forever. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
[The people whose bodies were buried in the] sea [became alive again in order to stand before God’s throne]. Everyone who had been buried on the land (OR, Every person who was waiting in the place where dead people stay) [became alive again, in order to stand before the throne]. [God] judged each one of them according to what each one had done. (Hadēs g86)
El mar entregó a los muertos [que había] en él, y la muerte y el Hades entregaron los [que había ]en ellos. Fueron juzgados, cada uno según sus obras. (Hadēs g86)
But those who are cowardly, those who do not believe [in me], those [who do] detestable things, those who are murderers, those who sin sexually, those who commit sorcery, those who worship idols, and every liar, will [all suffer] in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. [Anyone who suffers in that lake] will be dying the second time.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
There will never again be night. [God’s servants] will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine his light upon them. And they will rule forever. (aiōn g165)
Ya no habrá noche. No tienen necesidad de luz de lámpara, ni de luz del sol, porque el Señor Dios resplandecerá sobre ellos. Y reinarán por los siglos de los siglos. (aiōn g165)

“[Going to] where people live eternally [with God in heaven] is difficult. [It is like] going along a narrow road [PRS, MET] that leads to a narrow gate. Not many people find that way.

That way is like a] wide road that people walk on [PRS, MET] until they reach the wide gate, but that road and that gate lead to where [they] will be destroyed {[God] will destroy them}. Many people enter that gate. So I [am telling you to leave the wide road and] enter the narrow gate [to heaven].” (questioned)

(questioned)
They will throw those people into the fires of [hell]. There those people will weep and grind their teeth [because of the great pain that they are suffering]. (questioned)
They will throw the wicked people into the fire [in hell]. And those wicked people will weep and gnash their teeth [because of the intense pain they are suffering].” (questioned)
Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET].

And those people who died [EUP] [while they were trusting] in Christ will go to hell. (questioned)
To those who [are on the way to hell, our message is like] [MET] a foul smell [because it is about dying] and being separated from God forever.
