Romans 8:35-39
English Standard Version
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,
(A)“For your sake (B)we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than (C)conquerors through (D)him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

10 and (A)you have been filled in him, who is (B)the head of all rule and authority. 11 In him also (C)you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by (D)putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 (E)having been buried with him in baptism, in which (F)you were also raised with him through faith in (G)the powerful working of God, (H)who raised him from the dead. 13 (I)And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God (J)made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by (K)canceling (L)the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 (M)He disarmed the rulers and authorities[a] and (N)put them to open shame, by (O)triumphing over them in him.[b]
