Romans 8:35-39
(NIV)
35 Who shall separate us from the
love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger
or sword?
36 As it is written: "For your sake
we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
37 No, in all these things we are more
than conquerors through him who loved us.
38 For I am convinced that neither death
nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39 neither height nor depth, nor anything
else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ
Jesus our Lord. |
