No power in the sky above

or in the earth below—

indeed, nothing in all creation

will ever be able to separate us

from the love of God that is revealed

in Christ Jesus our Lord

Romans 8:39

I am convinced that nothing

can ever separate us

from God’s love.

Neither death nor life,

neither angels nor demons,

neither our fears for today

nor our worries about tomorrow—

not even the power of hell

can separate us

from God’s love.

Romans 8:38

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love?

Does it mean he no longer loves us

if we have trouble or calamity,

or are persecuted,

or hungry,

or destitute

or in danger,

or threatened with death?

No, despite all these things,

overwhelming victory is ours through Christ,

who loved us.

Romans 8:35, 37

…Christ Jesus died for us

and was raised to life for us,

and he is sitting in the place of honor

at God’s right hand,

pleading for us.

Romans 8:34

…If God is for us,

who can ever be against us?

Since he did not spare even his own Son

but gave him up for us all,

won’t he also give us everything else?

Romans 8:31-32

…we don’t know what God wants us to pray for.

But the Holy Spirit prays for us

with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.

And the Father who knows all hearts

knows what the Spirit is saying,

for the Spirit pleads for us believers

in harmony with God’s own will.

Romans 8:26-27

…you received God’s Spirit

when he adopted you as his own children.

Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”

For his Spirit joins with our spirit

to affirm that we are God’s children.

Romans 8:15

…if through the power of the Spirit

you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature,

you will live.

For all who are led by the Spirit of God

are children of God.

Romans 8:13-14

…the Spirit gives you life

because you have been made right with God.

The Spirit of God,

who raised Jesus from the dead,

lives in you.

Romans 8:10-11

…letting the Spirit

control your mind

leads to life and peace.

Romans 8:6
