Romans 8:31-32
Context8:31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 8:32 Indeed, he who 1 did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things?
Romans 8:37
Context8:37 No, in all these things we have complete victory 2 through him 3 who loved us!
1 tn Grk “[he] who.” The relative clause continues the question of v. 31 in a way that is awkward in English. The force of v. 32 is thus: “who indeed did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – How will he not also with him give us all things?”
2 tn BDAG 1034 s.v. ὑπερνικάω states, “as a heightened form of νικᾶν prevail completely ὑπερνικῶμεν we are winning a most glorious victory Ro 8:37.”
3 tn Here the referent could be either God or Christ, but in v. 39 it is God’s love that is mentioned.
