8:31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 8:32 Indeed, he who ⁴  did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things? 8:33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? ⁵  It is God who justifies. 8:34 Who is the one who will condemn? Christ ⁶  is the one who died (and more than that, he was raised), who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us. 8:35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? ⁷  8:36 As it is written, “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” ⁸  8:37 No, in all these things we have complete victory ⁹  through him ¹⁰  who loved us! 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, ¹¹  nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
