Romans 8:31b-35, 37-39
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans
Brothers and sisters:
If God is for us, who can he against us?
He did not spare his own Son
but
handed him over for us all,
will he not also give us everything else
along with him?
Who will bring a charge against God's chosen ones?
It is God who acquits
us.
Who will condemn?
It is Christ Jesus who died, rather, was raised,
who also is at the right
hand of God,
who indeed intercedes for us.
What will separate us from the love of Christ?
Will anguish, or distress,
or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?
No, in all these things, we conquer overwhelmingly
through him who loved
us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities,
nor
present things, nor future things,
nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
nor
any other creature will be able to separate us
from the love of God in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
The word of the Lord.
