31What, then, shall we say in
response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son, 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 against
those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than
that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also
interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us
from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or
nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is
written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be
slaughtered."[a] 37No, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him who loved us. 38For
I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any
powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor
anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
