8:31. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is
against us?
8:32. He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us
all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things?
8:33. Who shall accuse against the elect of God? God is he that
justifieth:
8:34. Who is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus that died: yea that is
risen also again, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh
intercession for us.
8:35. Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall
tribulation? Or distress? Or famine? Or nakedness? Or danger? Or
persecution? Or the sword?
8:36. (As it is written: For thy sake, we are put to death all the day
long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)
8:37. But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath
loved us.
8:38. For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor
might,
I am sure... That is, I am persuaded; as it is in the Greek, pepeismai.
8:39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans Chapter 9
The apostle's concern for the Jews. God's election is free and not
confined to their nation.
9:1. I speak the truth in Christ: I lie not, my conscience bearing me
witness in the Holy Ghost:
9:2. That I have great sadness and continual sorrow in my heart.
9:3. For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren:
who are my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Anathema... A curse. The apostle's concern and love for his countrymen
the Jews was so great, that he was willing to suffer even an anathema,
or curse, for their sake; or any evil that could come upon him, without
his offending God.
9:4. Who are Israelites: to whom belongeth the adoption as of children
and the glory and the testament and the giving of the law and the
service of God and the promises:
9:5. Whose are the fathers and of whom is Christ, according to the
flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen.
9:6. Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not
Israelites that are of Israel.
All are not Israelites, etc... Not all, who are the carnal seed of
Israel, are true Israelites in God's account: who, as by his free grace,
he heretofore preferred Isaac before Ismael, and Jacob before Esau, so
he could, and did by the like free grace, election and mercy, raise up
spiritual children by faith to Abraham and Israel, from among the
Gentiles, and prefer them before the carnal Jews.
9:7. Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children: but in
Isaac shall thy seed be called.
9:8. That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh are the
children of God: but they that are the children of the promise are
accounted for the seed.
9:9. For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I
come. And Sara shall have a son.
9:10. And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once of
Isaac our father.
