·
No, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am
convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any
powers, 39 neither 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.
Romans 8:37-39
