³¹What, then, are we to say about these things?^at If God is for us, who is against us?^au ³²He did not even spare his own Son^av but gave him up for us all.^aw How will he not also with him grant us everything? ³³Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect?^ax God is the one who justifies.^ay ³⁴Who is the one who condemns?^az Christ Jesus is the one who died,^ba but even more, has been raised;^bb he also is at the right hand of God^bc and intercedes for us.^bd ³⁵Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction^be or distress or persecution^bf or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ³⁶As it is written:

Because of you

we are being put to death all day long;^bg

we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.^A^bh

³⁷No, in all these things we are more than conquerors^a through him who loved us.^b ³⁸For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,^c nor angels nor rulers,^d nor things present nor things to come,^e nor powers, ³⁹nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God^f that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.^g
