Romans 8:35-36

Context
8:35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 1  8:36 As it is written, “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 2 

1 tn Here “sword” is a metonymy that includes both threats of violence and acts of violence, even including death (although death is not necessarily the only thing in view here).
