The phrase more than conquerors translates one Greek word Paul may have invented. Hupernikao. Over-conquerors. Today we sit with the word, and the thunder at the end of the chapter.

In this letter

- The closing thunder of Romans 8:31-39

- Hupernikao (G5245) — the compound that gives us more than conquerors

- Huper + nikao — over + to conquer

- The seven-item list (tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword) as Paul's autobiography

- Psalm 44 quoted in v. 36

- The longer list at the close — death, life, angels, principalities, powers, time, space, anything

- A direct pastoral landing for the suffering, the accused, and the doubting

Scripture

- Romans 8:31-39 (full)

- Psal ...
