Romans 8:35

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 

Romans 8:37

Context
8:37 No, in all these things we have complete victory 2  through him 3  who loved us!

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).

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.
