Romans 8:31

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? "What then shall we say to these things?" -'In face of all this, what is there left to say' (Phi) 'What answer can the hesitating or discouraged find to this array of the merciful acts of God's love on behalf of the believer?' (Alford p. 915) 'They certainly cannot stand and lament as though theirs is. sad lot. They must be ashamed of all doubt or complaint.' (Lenski p. 564)

"If God is for us, who is against us?" -'If such. God is so for us, what difference does it make who is listed in the ranks of the opponents? Of course, the other question is fearful too: "If God is against us, what difference does it make who is for us?" (McGuiggan p. 264) (Psalms 118:6)

'Paul for. moment envisages the situation in terms of. court of law, where the believer stands to be judged. But who will dare to come forward as prosecutor? God Himself, the Judge of all, has pronounced his acquittal and justification; who can call His sentence in question?'
