Romans 8:35-37
New English Translation
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?[a] 36 As it is written, “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[b] 37 No, in all these things we have complete victory[c] through him[d] who loved us!
