Romans 8:35-39
Legacy Standard Bible
35 Who will separate us from (A)the love of [a]Christ? Will (B)affliction, or turmoil, or (C)persecution, or (D)famine, or (E)nakedness, or (F)peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written,
“(G)For Your sake we are being put to death all day long;
We were counted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly (H)conquer through (I)Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither (J)death, nor life, nor (K)angels, nor rulers, nor (L)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 (M)the love of God, which is (N)in Christ Jesus our Lord.

New Living Translation
35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”[a]) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
