Romans 8:36–39

36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”* ) 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,* 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.

will have the power to separate us

from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!

Nothing at all can ever separate us from God’s love because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done.
