Romans 8:31-39

God’s Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? ^rIf God is for us, who can be ^{▼▼Or who is} against us? 32 ^tHe who did not spare his own Son but ^ugave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? ^vIt is God who justifies. 34 ^wWho is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised— ^xwho is at the right hand of God, ^ywho indeed is interceding for us. ^{▼▼Or Is it Christ Jesus who died . . . for us?} 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,

^aa“For your sake ^abwe 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 ^acconquerors through ^adhim who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 Peter 1:5

5 who by God’s power are being guarded ^aethrough faith for a salvation ^afready to be revealed in the last time.
