“Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.”
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. — Paul deploys juridical language: ἐγκαλέω (engkaleō, "accuse/charge") is rendered impossible because God—the judge—has already δικαιόω (dikaioō, "justified") the chosen. No prosecution can overturn God's verdict. The divine choice and justification are antecedent to any accusation.
