Romans 8:38

Context
8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, 1  nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers,

1 tn BDAG 138 s.v. ἀρχή 6 takes this term as a reference to angelic or transcendent powers (as opposed to merely human rulers). To clarify this, the adjective “heavenly” has been supplied in the translation. Some interpreters see this as a reference to fallen angels or demonic powers, and this view is reflected in some recent translations (NIV, NLT).
