Romans 8:31-39

The Believer’s Triumph

³¹What, then, are we to say about these things?^(A) If God is for us, who is against us?^(B) ³²He did not even spare his own Son^(C) but gave him up for us all.^(D) How will he not also with him grant us everything? ³³Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect?^(E) God is the one who justifies.^(F) ³⁴Who is the one who condemns?^(G) Christ Jesus is the one who died,^(H) but even more, has been raised;^(I) he also is at the right hand of God^(J) and intercedes for us.^(K) ³⁵Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction^(L) or distress or persecution^(M) or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ³⁶As it is written:

Because of you
we are being put to death all day long;^(N)
we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.^[a]^(O)

³⁷No, in all these things we are more than conquerors^(P) through him who loved us.^(Q) ³⁸For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,^(R) nor angels nor rulers,^(S) nor things present nor things to come,^(T) nor powers, ³⁹nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God^(U) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.^(V)

Prayer for Spiritual Power

¹⁴For this reason I kneel^(A) before the Father^[a] ¹⁵from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. ¹⁶I pray that he may grant you, according to the riches^(B) of his glory,^(C) to be strengthened with power^(D) in your inner being^(E) through his Spirit, ¹⁷and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, ¹⁸may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love,^(F) ¹⁹and to know Christ’s love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

²⁰Now to him who is able^(G) to do above and beyond all that we ask or think^(H) according to the power^(I) that works in us— ²¹to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.^(J)
