Romans:8:33
rwp@Romans:8:33 @{Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect?} (\tis egkalesei kata eklektn theou?\). Future active indicative of \egkale\, old verb, to come forward as accuser (forensic term) in case in court, to impeach, as in strkjv@Acts:19:40; strkjv@23:29; strkjv@26:2|, the only N.T. examples. Satan is the great Accuser of the brethren. {It is God that justifieth} (\theos ho dikain\). God is the Judge who sets us right according to his plan for justification (3:21-31|). The Accuser must face the Judge with his charges.
