Commentaries on Romans 8:39
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 39Nor height - of honor, nor depth - of ignominy, nor any other creature, , (nor any other thing whatever), shall be able to separate us, who love God, from the love of God, which he has vouchsafed to us in Christ Jesus.

Men may justify…Read the comment

But as the bad are not called "angels," or "principalities," or "powers," save with some addition to show that such are meant (Mt 25:41; Col 2:15; Ep 6:12; 2Pe 2:4--except perhaps 1Co 6:3), probably the good are meant here, but merely as the same apostle supposes an angel from heaven to preach a false gospel.
