33 [a]Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s chosen? it is [b]God that justifieth.

Footnotes

  1. Romans 8:33 A most glorious and comfortable conclusion of the whole second part of this Epistle, that is, of the treatise of justification. There are no accusers that we have need to be afraid of before God, seeing that God himself absolveth us as just: and therefore much less need we to fear damnation, seeing that we rest upon the death and resurrection, the almighty power and defense of Jesus Christ. Therefore what can there be so weighty in this life, or of so great force and power, that might seize us, as though we might fall from the love of God, wherewith he loveth us in Christ: Surely nothing. Seeing that it is in itself most constant and sure, and also in us being confirmed by steadfast faith.
  2. Romans 8:33 Who pronounceth us not only guiltless, but also perfectly just in his Son.
  3. Romans 8:35 Wherewith Christ loveth us.
