Romans 8:35-39
New King James Version
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:
(A)“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 (B)Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor (C)principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Colossians 2:10-19
New King James Version
10 and you are complete in Him, who is the (A)head of all [a]principality and power.
Not Legalism but Christ
11 In Him you were also (B)circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by (C)putting off the body [b]of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 (D)buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through (E)faith in the working of God, (F)who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 (G)having wiped out the [c]handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 (H)Having disarmed (I)principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
16 So let no one (J)judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a [d]festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 (K)which are a shadow of things to come, but the [e]substance is of Christ. 18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has [f]not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to (L)the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, (M)grows with the increase that is from God.
