Romans 8:35-39 (Paul
speaking)
Once you are one of Jesus' own, nothing can separate you from Him!
King James Bible: "35 Who
shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all
the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to
come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord."
NIV Bible: "35Who shall separate us from the
love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness
or danger or sword?
36As it is written:
'For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be
slaughtered.'
37No, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him who loved us.
38For I am convinced that
neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in
all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ
Jesus our Lord."
NAS Bible: "35 Who will
separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 Just as it is written,
'FOR YOUR SAKE WE
ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG;
WE WERE CONSIDERED
AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.'
37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer
through Him who loved us.
38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor
powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created
thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord."
