Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

³¹ What shall we say then to these things? If God is on our side, who can be against us? ³² He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him for us all, how would he not also give us all things with him? ³³ Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies; ³⁴ who then shall condemn? It is Christ who is dead – yea rather, risen again, who is also on the right hand of God, and makes intercession for us.

³⁵ Who can separate us from the love of God? Can tribulation? or anguish? or persecution? or hunger? or nakedness? or peril? or sword? ³⁶ As it is written: For your sake we are killed all day long, and are counted as sheep appointed to be slain. ³⁷ Nevertheless, in all these things we overcome strongly through the help of him who loved us. ³⁸ Yea, and I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rule, nor power, nor things present, nor things to come, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other thing in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God shown in Christ Jesus our Lord.
