Romans 8:33-34 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies.… An old legionary asked Augustus to assist him in a cause which was about to be tried. Augustus deputed one of his friends to speak for the veteran, who, however, repudiated the vicarious patron, saying, "It was not by proxy that I fought for you at Actium." Augustus acknowledged the obligation, and pleaded the cause in person. (C. E. Little.) Parallel Verses KJV: Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?
