Text -- Romans 8:33-39 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
8:33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect ? It is God who justifies .
8:34 Who is the one who will condemn ? Christ is the one who died (and more than that, he was raised ), who is at the right hand of God , and who also is interceding for us .
8:35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ ? Will trouble , or distress , or persecution , or famine , or nakedness , or danger , or sword ?
8:36 As it is written , “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered .”
8:37 No , in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us !
8:38 For I am convinced that neither death , nor life , nor angels , nor heavenly rulers , nor things that are present , nor things to come , nor powers ,
8:39 nor height , nor depth , nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord .
