The Believer’s Triumph

The Believer's Triumph

³¹ What then are we to say about these things? ^r

If God is for us, who is against us? ^s

³² He did not even spare His own Son ^t

but offered Him up for us all; ^u

how will He not also with Him grant us everything?

³³ Who can bring an accusation against God's elect? ^v

God is the One who justifies. ^w

³⁴ Who is the one who condemns? ^x

Christ Jesus is the One who died, ^y

but even more, has been raised; ^z

He also is at the right hand of God ^a

and intercedes for us. ^b

³⁵ Who can separate us from the love of Christ?

Can affliction ^c or anguish or persecution ^d

or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

³⁶ As it is written:

Because of You

we are being put to death all day long; ^e

we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered. ^{f g}

³⁷ No, in all these things we are more than victorious ^h

through Him who loved us. ⁱ

³⁸ For I am persuaded that not even death or life, ^j

angels or rulers, ^k

things present or things to come, ^l _⌊hostile_⌋ powers,

³⁹ height or depth, or any other created thing

will have the power to separate us

from the love of God ^m that is in Christ Jesus our Lord! ^n[1]
