BIBL 110 Utilizing either a translation of choice or creating a paraphrase of your own, use this space to re-write the full passage of scripture. Please do not copy and paste from an existing translation, but rather, write out the passage word-by-word in order to slowly reflect on the content. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?    He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?    Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.    Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.   Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?    As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”   No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.    For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. 4 Step Three: Reflect Use this space to answer the following questions.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us who can be against us? How will he not also graciously give us all things? Who shall bring charge against God’s elect? Who is to condemn? Who shall separate us form the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
