OET (OET-LV) Therefore what we_will_be_saying to these things?
If the god is for us, who is against us?
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν
what therefore ˱we˲_/will_be/_saying
Here, then indicates that what follows is a response to what Paul said in the previous verses. See how you translated this phrase in 6:1.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν πρὸς ταῦτα? εἰ ὁ Θεὸς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, τίς καθ’ ἡμῶν?
what therefore ˱we˲_/will_be/_saying to these_‹things› if ¬the God_‹is› for us who_‹is› against us
Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form in these two sentences to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Then we will say to these things: If God is for us, surely no one can be against us!”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
εἰ
if
Paul is making a conditional statement that sounds hypothetical, but he is already convinced that the condition is true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might misunderstand and think that what Paul is saying is not certain, then you can translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “Because”
ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν
for us
Alternate translation: “is on our side”
8:31 such wonderful things: Paul is referring to everything he has taught in chs 5–8 about the blessings and sense of assurance that believers receive from their relationship with God.
