This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rom 8:36. Καθὼς, as) He gives the reason, why he enumerates in the preceding verse so many trials.-ὅτι-σφαγῆς) So the LXX., Psa 44:23. Both the church of the Old Testament, and much more that of the New Testament, might have so spoken; and the latter may still so speak.-ἓνεκα σοῦ, for thy sake) It is a good thing thus [i.e. for Christ’s sake] to suffer: the sorrows, in which the world abounds, and which are braved for other reasons, are vain.-θανατούμεθα, we are killed) The first class of the blessed [departed saints] is for the most part filled up with those, who met a violent death, Mat 23:34-35; Heb 11:37; Rev 6:11; Rev 20:4.-ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν) all the day. So the LXX., in many passages, כל היום, a proverbial expression; the whole day, all the day: Mat 20:6. Ps. quoted above, Rom 8:16; Rom 8:9.-ἐλογίσθημεν, we are accounted) by our enemies, as also by ourselves.
