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. See Whitby. And for farther observations on the subject of the 29th and 30th verses, see at the end of the chapter, (the following notes). The confidence expressed by the apostle at the end of this chapter, is as rational as it is bold. On…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 39Nor height - This has been variously understood.

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.
