Romans 8:33 (ESV)

Psalm 16 (English Standard Version)

1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”
3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight.
4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips.
5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

Romans 8 (English Standard Version)

30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 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?
33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.
34 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.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
36 As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

David prayed:

As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.

Psalm 16:3

Who can accuse God's special people of anything? It's God who sets us right.

Romans 8:33

Psalm 16 (Free Bible Version)

1 Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
2 I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
3 As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
4 Those who run after other gods will face a lot of trouble. I will not participate in their offerings of blood, I will not even speak the names of their gods.
5 Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
6 The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!

Romans 8 (Free Bible Version)

30 Those that he chose, he also called; and those that he called, he also made right; and those that he made right, he also glorified.
31 So what's our response to all this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 God, who did not hold back his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, won't he also freely give us everything?
33 Who can accuse God's special people of anything? It's God who sets us right,
34 so who can condemn us? It's Christ Jesus who died—more importantly, who was raised from the dead—who stands at God's right-hand, presenting our case.
35 Who can separate us from Christ's love? Can oppression, distress, or persecution? Or hunger, poverty, danger, or violence?
36 Just as Scripture says, “For your sake we're in danger of being killed all the time. We're treated like sheep to be slaughtered.”
