“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? — The rhetorical question crystallizes the security of the believer: God's ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν (hyper hēmōn, "for us")—taking our side, acting on our behalf—is absolute. No opponent can prevail. This is the comfort of the golden chain: those predestined are victors.
