“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”
Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. — The κατακρίνω (katakrínō, "condemn") is not possible because Christ, the Risen One, sits at the δεξιὰ (dexia, "right hand") of God and (crucially) ἐντυγχάνω (entynchanō, "intercedes") for believers. The exalted Christ's intercession is continuous advocacy. Condemnation is ontologically impossible in the face of Christ's ascended intercession.
