Barnes on Rom 8:31 –
What shall we then say … – What fairly follows from the facts stated? or what conclusion shall we draw in regard to the power of the Christian religion to support us in our trials from the considerations which have been stated? What the influence is he proceeds to state.

If God be for us – Be on outside, or is our friend, as he has shown himself to be by adopting us Rom_8:15, by granting to us his Spirit Rom_8:16-17, Rom_8:26-27, and by his gracious purpose to save us, Rom_8:29-30).

Who can be against us? – Who can injure or destroy us? Sinners may be against us, and so may the great enemy of our souls, but their power to destroy us is taken away. God is more mighty than all our foes; and he can defend and save us; see Psa_118:6. “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear what man can do unto me.” The proposition advanced in this verse, Paul proceeds to illustrate by various specifications, which continue to the end of the chapter.
