Romans 8:35-37

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,

^h“For your sake ⁱwe are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than ^jconquerors through ^khim who loved us.

1 Corinthians 15:31

31 I protest, brothers, by ^lmy pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, ^mI die every day!

2 Corinthians 4:10-17

10 ⁿalways carrying in the body the death of Jesus, ^oso that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So ^pdeath is at work in us, but life in you.

13 Since we have ^qthe same spirit of faith according to what has been written, ^r“I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, 14 knowing that ^she who raised the Lord Jesus ^twill raise us also with Jesus and ^ubring us with you into his presence. 15 For ^vit is all for your sake, so that as ^wgrace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, ^xto the glory of God.

16 So we do not lose heart. ^yThough our outer self ^{▼▼Greek man} is wasting away, ^aaour inner self ^abis being renewed day by day. 17 For ^acthis light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,

2 Corinthians 11:23-27

23 Are they ^adservants of Christ? ^aeI am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with far greater labors, ^affar more imprisonments, ^agwith countless beatings, and ^ahoften near death. 24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the ^aiforty lashes less one. 25 Three times I was ^ajbeaten with rods. ^akOnce I was stoned. Three times I ^alwas shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; 26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, ^amdanger from my own people, ^andanger from Gentiles, ^aodanger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; 27 ^apin toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, ^aqin hunger and thirst, often without food, ^{▼▼Or often in fasting} in cold and exposure.

Philippians 1:20-21

20 as it is my eager expectation and hope ^asthat I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full ^atcourage now as always Christ ^auwill be honored in my body, ^avwhether by life or by death. 21 For to me ^awto live is Christ, and to die is gain.
