For what can separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or difficulty, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?.. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 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... (Romans 8:35; Romans 8:38-39)
