AI-assisted, sourcedRomans 8:31-39Nothing can separate us
About Romans 8"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus," for "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death," and "as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God," crying, "Abba, Father," and "joint-heirs with Christ." Present sufferings "are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us," the whole creation groans, the Spirit "maketh intercession for us," and "all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." "If God be for us, who can be against us," Paul writes, and nothing "shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
