OET (OET-LV) But in these things all, we_are_beyond_conquering through the one having_loved us.

OET (OET-RV) But in all that, we’re more than conquerors through the one who loved us.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:31–39: Nothing can separate us from God’s love

In this section, Paul asked a number of rhetorical questions. In asking them he expected the believers in Rome to agree with him in these ways: God is for us and no one has greater power than him when they stand against us. God has made us right with him, so no one can accuse us of wrongdoing that God has not already forgiven. Jesus died for our sins and rose again, so no one can say we are worthy of God punishing us. Nothing of this earth or of the demons and spirits can separate us from God’s love. With God’s power we can overcome all those things.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

God’s love for us because of Jesus Christ

The love of God will not abandon/leave us

8:37a

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors

No: The Greek word is literally “but.” For example:

But (NASB)

However, in contrast to 8:36, many English versions prefer No here.

(GNT:) in all these things we have complete victory: The phrase in all these things is emphasized by being first in the clause. In some languages it must be in its usual place. For example:

we have complete victory in all these things

(GNT:) in all these things: The words these things refer to the situations in 8:35. In some languages “those” would be more clear. For example:

in all those things

The word in indicates that believers experience those situations. For example:

when we experience any of those things/situations

(GNT:) we have complete victory: There are two ways to interpret the Greek word that the GNT translates as we have complete victory:

  1. It means we overwhelmingly conquer. For example:

    we conquer overwhelmingly (NABRE) (GNT, NABRE, NASB, NLT, GW, NET, REB, NCV)

  2. It means we conquer and gain something else. For example:

    we have won more than a victory (CEV) (BSB, RSV, NIV, ESV, KJV, CEV)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1), because the Greek prefix indicates completeness rather than something more than just conquering.BDAG, L&N, and L&S.

8:37b

through Him who loved us.

through Him who loved us: Here the word through indicates that Jesus enables us to be more than conquerors. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

by the power of him who loved us (NJB)

because of him who loved us

Him: It is likely that Paul meant Jesus here (8:35).Cranfield, Schreiner, Jewett, Kruse, Lenski, Alford, Nicoll, and Fitzmyer say it refers to Jesus. Morris (page 340) says it could be either God or Jesus. But you should translate this word as “he” or “him” here.

loved: The Greek tense usually refers to a past event. Here it probably refers to the love that Jesus showed to us by dying on the cross for us.Morris (page 340), Lenski (page 575), and Nicoll (page 654). The past tense here does not imply that Jesus no longer loves us.

In some languages using the past tense would clearly indicate that Jesus no longer loves us. If that is true in your language, use the present tense. For example:

loves (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

ἀλλ’

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀλλʼ ἐν τούτοις πᾶσιν ὑπερνικῶμεν διά τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντος ἡμάς)

But here indicates that what follows [8:37–39](../08/37.md) is the negative answer to the rhetorical questions in [8:35](../08/35.md). If you translated the rhetorical question in [8:35](../08/35.md) as a question, then here you could use a natural way in your language for introducing a negative answer to that question. If you changed the rhetorical question in [8:35](../08/35.md) to a statement, then here you could use a word that indicates strong contrast. Alternate translation: [No,] or [On the contrary,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τούτοις

these_‹things›

Here, these things refers to the list of various types of suffering mentioned in [8:35](../08/35.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [these kinds of suffering]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὑπερνικῶμεν

˱we˲_˓are˒_beyond_conquering

Here, more than conquerors refers to those who have complete victory over their enemies. If it might be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [we have complete victory]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντος ἡμᾶς

the_‹one› ˓having˒_loved (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀλλʼ ἐν τούτοις πᾶσιν ὑπερνικῶμεν διά τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντος ἡμάς)

Here, the one who loved us could refer to: (1) Christ, as in [8:35](../08/35.md). Alternate translation: [through Christ, who loved us]; (2) God, as in [8:39](../08/39.md). Alternate translation: [through God, who loved us]
