35 Who can separate us from the love of Christ?
Can affliction(A) or anguish or persecution(B)
or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36 As it is written:
Because of You
we are being put to death all day long;(C)
we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.(D)[a]
37 No, in all these things we are more than victorious(E)
through Him who loved us.(F)
38 For I am persuaded that not even death or life,(G)
angels or rulers,(H)
things present or things to come,(I) hostile powers,
39 height or depth, or any other created thing
will have the power to separate us
from the love of God(J) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!(K)

35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will affliction or distress or persecution or hunger or lack of sufficient clothing or danger or the sword? 36 Just as it is written,

“On account of you we are being put to death the whole day long;
    we are considered as sheep for slaughter.”[a]

37 No, but in all these things we prevail completely through the one who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[a](C)

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors(D) through him who loved us.(E) 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future,(F) nor any powers,(G) 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God(H) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(I)
