Greek Commentary for Romans 8:39
Aorist active infinitive of χοριζω chorizō (same verb as in Romans 8:35). God‘s love is victor over all possible foes, “God‘s love that is in Christ Jesus.” Paul has reached the mountain top. He has really completed his great argument concerning the God-kind of righteousness save for its bearing on some special problems. The first of these concerns the fact that the Jews (God‘s chosen people) have so largely rejected the gospel (chapters 9-11). [source]

Exclamation with omega and the nominative case of βατος bathos (see note on 2 Corinthians 8:2; Romans 8:39). Paul‘s argument concerning God‘s elective grace and goodness has carried him to the heights and now he pauses on the edge of the precipice as he contemplates God‘s wisdom and knowledge, fully conscious of his inability to sound the bottom with the plummet of human reason and words.

Or creation. Compare Galatians 6:15. The word κτίσις is used in three senses in the New Testament. The act of creating, as Romans 1:20. The sum of created things, as Revelation 3:14; Mark 13:19. A created thing or creature, as Romans 8:39. The Rabbins used the word of a man converted from idolatry. “He who brings a foreigner and makes him a proselyte is as if he created him.” [source]
Only here and Romans 8:39. Falling in with the metaphor of strongholds. High military works thrown up, or lofty natural fastnesses with their battlements of rock. The word is also used in the Septuagint and Apocrypha of mental elevation, as Job 24:24, where the Septuagint reads “his haughtiness hath harmed many.” [source]
