Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
So What Shall We Say To All This? If God Is For Us, Who Will Condemn Us?
31 Therefore, what shall we say to these things? If [a] God is for us, who is against us? 32 He Who indeed did not spare His own Son but handed Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely-give[b] us all things? 33 Who will bring-a-charge against the chosen[c] ones of God? God is the One declaring-righteous! 34 Who is the one who will condemn[d]? Christ Jesus is the One having died, but more, having been raised, Who also is at the right hand of God, Who also intercedes[e] for us!
Nothing Can Separate Us From Christ’s Love; We Are Conquerors Through Him
35 What[f] shall separate us from the love of Christ? Affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 Just as it has been written [in Ps 44:22] that “For your sake we are being put-to-death the whole day. We were considered as sheep for slaughter”. 37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly-conquer[g] through the One having loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present[h] nor things coming, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other creation[i] will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
