35 Who will separate us from the Messiah’s[a] love? Can trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or a violent death[b] do this?[c] 36 As it is written,

“For your sake we are being put to death all day long.
    We are thought of as sheep headed for slaughter.”[d]

37 In all these things we are triumphantly victorious due to 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 anything above, nor anything below, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God that is ours[e] in union with the Messiah[f] Jesus, our Lord.
