Romans 8:35-39Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Dangers which cannot separate the believer front the love of GodWe begin with the general proposition, “Who shall separate us?” etc. And for the love of Christ it may be taken either actively or passively; actively for our love of Him, or passively for His love of us, which latter acceptation of it seems to be that which is here chiefly intended. First of all, let us look upon it in the thing itself. Who or what shall take off the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:39

39. Nor height, nor depth Two antithetic potencies of space. The interpretation of heights and depths as equivalent to heaven and hell is scarce commensurate with the apostle’s conception.
