Context of Romans 8:34

32He did not even spare his own Son but gave him up for us all. How will he not also with him grant us everything? 33Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies. Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the one who died, but even more, has been raised; he also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us. 35Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written: Because of you we are being put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 34Who is he that condemneth? - Who shall pass sentence of condemnation, and consign to perdition? The function of passing sentence of condemnation on people shall pertain to Christ, the judge of quick and dead, and the apostle proceeds to say that it was certain that he would not condemn the elect of God. They were therefore secure. It is Christ that died - Or as it may be rendered, “Shall Christ who has died, condemn them?” The argument here is, that as…Read the comment
