Who shall separate us The phrase "Who shall separate us" introduces a rhetorical question that emphasizes the inseparability of believers from the love of Christ. The Greek word for "separate" is "chōrizō," which means to divide or put apart. In the context of Roman society, separation could imply a legal or relational division, such as divorce or the severing of a contract. Paul uses this term to assure believers that no force, whether human or spiritual, can sever the bond between them and Christ's love. This reflects the eternal security and assurance that believers have in their relationship with Jesus. from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? Shall tribulation?--Comp. 2Corinthians 6:4; 2Corinthians 11:23. The Apostle is speaking from his own actual experience. Verses 35-39. - Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? (i.e. the love of Christ to us, and in the same sense "the love of God" below; cf. τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντος ἡμᾶς in ver. 37). Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

(This quotation of Psalm 44:22 may be introduced as showing that such trials have ever been the lot of God's servants, and did not separate the saints of old from God.)

Romans 5:3, etc., and Romans 8:28) through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall he able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. In these two concluding verses the thought is distinctly extended from circumstances of trial to all powers, human or superhuman, that may be conceived as assaulting us through them, or in any way opposing us. But it is still adverse powers and influences, not our own failure in perseverance, that are in view. It is not necessary to define what is exactly meant by each of the expressions in these verses. Enough to say that what is meant is, that nothing whatever, in heaven or earth, or under the earth, can thwart God's good purpose for us, or separate us from his love.
