MSG ^(31-39)So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:
They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

καθὼς γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

See how you translated this phrase in 1:17.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καθὼς γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, the quotation was written by the sons of Korah. Alternate translation: “Just as the sons of Korah wrote”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

ὅτι ἕνεκεν σοῦ, θανατούμεθα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν; ἐλογίσθημεν ὡς πρόβατα σφαγῆς

¬that on_account ˱of˲_you ˱we˲_/are_being/_put_to_death all ¬the day ˱we˲_/were/_reckoned as sheep ˱of˲_slaughter

In these clauses Paul quotes Psalm 44:22. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὅτι ἕνεκεν σοῦ

¬that on_account ˱of˲_you

Here, your is singular and refers to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “For your sake, God,”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

θανατούμεθα & ἐλογίσθημεν

˱we˲_/are_being/_put_to_death & ˱we˲_/were/_reckoned

Here, we refers to the people who wrote this verse, so it would be exclusive. It does not refer to God, who is the one being spoken to. Your language may require you to mark these forms.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

θανατούμεθα & ἐλογίσθημεν

˱we˲_/are_being/_put_to_death & ˱we˲_/were/_reckoned

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “our enemies put us to death … They consider us”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

θανατούμεθα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν

˱we˲_/are_being/_put_to_death all ¬the day

The phrase all day long is an exaggeration that emphasizes how frequently these people were being killed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “we are killed regularly”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ἐλογίσθημεν ὡς πρόβατα σφαγῆς

˱we˲_/were/_reckoned as sheep ˱of˲_slaughter

Here Paul compares to sheep those whom people kill because they are loyal to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “We are considered by those who kill us to only be as valuable as the sheep they kill”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

σφαγῆς

˱of˲_slaughter

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of slaughter, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to be slaughtered”
