‏ Romans 8:33

Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? ( τις εγκαλεσε κατα εκλεκτων θεου? ). Future active indicative of εγκαλεω, old verb, to come forward as accuser (forensic term) in case in court, to impeach, as in Ac 19:40; 23:29; 26:2, the only N.T. examples. Satan is the great Accuser of the brethren.

It is God that justifieth ( θεος ο δικαιων ). God is the Judge who sets us right according to his plan for justification (3:21-31). The Accuser must face the Judge with his charges.
