Study Lenses

The verse centers on "neuerthelesse", "thinges", "coquerours", "through", and "loued". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "neuerthelesse" and "thinges", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 36's "As it is written For thy sake..." into verse 38's "For I am perswaded that neither death...", so "neuerthelesse" and "thinges" belong inside that flow. In Romans context, the local focus is righteousness by faith, union with Christ, life in the Spirit, and God's covenant faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "neuerthelesse" and "thinges" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
