³¹What, then, shall we say in response to these things?^u If God is for us,^v who can be against us?^w ³²He who did not spare his own Son,^x but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? ³³Who will bring any charge^y against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. ³⁴Who then is the one who condemns?^z No one. Christ Jesus who died^a—more than that, who was raised to life^b—is at the right hand of God^c and is also interceding for us.^d ³⁵Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?^e Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?^f ³⁶As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;

we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”^j^g

³⁷No, in all these things we are more than conquerors^h through him who loved us.ⁱ ³⁸For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,^k neither the present nor the future,^j nor any powers,^k ³⁹neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God^l that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.^m
