Romans 8:35-37

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

a“For your sake bwe are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37No, in all these things we are more than cconquerors through dhim who loved us.

James 1:2-4

1 Peter 4:12-14
