God’s Love in Christ Jesus

31 What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?(A) 32 He who did not withhold his own Son but gave him up for all of us, how will he not with him also give us everything else? 33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.(B) 34 Who is to condemn? It is Christ[a] who died, or rather, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.(C) 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword? 36 As it is written,

“For your sake we are being killed all day long;
    we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.”(D)

  1. 46.1 Or well proved

for not by their own sword did they win the land,
    nor did their own arm give them victory,
but your right hand, and your arm,
    and the light of your countenance,
    for you delighted in them.(A)

You are my King and my God;
    you command[a] victories for Jacob.
Through you we push down our foes;
    through your name we tread down our assailants.(B)
For not in my bow do I trust,
    nor can my sword save me.
But you have saved us from our foes
    and have put to confusion those who hate us.(C)
In God we have boasted continually,
    and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah(D)
