Nothing Can Separate Us From God's Love

32 God did not withhold His own Son [from dying], but offered Him up for all of us. [Since He did that], will He not, along with Jesus, freely give us everything [else] also? 33 Who will bring an accusation against God's chosen people? [Certainly not God, for] He makes people right with Himself. 34 Who condemns [us]? Certainly not Jesus, for He is the One who died [i.e., to save us], and what is more, He was raised from the dead and is [now] at the right side of God. He also goes [to God] on our behalf [i.e., as we pray].
