No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us!

even us, whom he has called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?

Receive one another, then, just as Christ also received you, to God’s glory.

For I consider that our present sufferings cannot even be compared to the glory that will be revealed to us.

but also for our sake, to whom it will be credited, those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And why not say, “Let us do evil so that good may come of it”? – as some who slander us allege that we say. (Their condemnation is deserved!)
