Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Yet in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loves us.

nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And not only that, but we also exult in afflictions, knowing that affliction produces perseverance;

and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope.

As for you, you had devised evil against me; but God had planned it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

And you shall remember that Jehovah your God has led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

And He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you had not known nor had your fathers known, to make you know that man does not live by bread alone; but man lives by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of Jehovah.

who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers had not known, to humble you and to test you, to do you good in the end;

Therefore we will not fear when the earth changes, when mountains are slipping into the midst of the seas.

Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will acknowledge the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for good.

And I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am Jehovah; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. For they shall return to Me with their whole heart.

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined. And I will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, It is My people, and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.

For all things are for you, that the grace may excel through the greater numbers, and cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is achieving for us a surpassing and eternal weight of glory,

For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in Heaven.

For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;

and to give you who are afflicted rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from Heaven with His mighty angels,

For whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and whips every son whom He receives.

But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.

Therefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees,

knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

But let patience have its perfecting work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

that the testing of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found unto praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him yet, believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

And hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

but showing goodness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart, with all your soul, exceedingly in every way.

And I said, I beseech You, O Jehovah the God of Heaven, O great and awesome Mighty God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and keep Your commandments:

And the seed of His servants shall inherit it, and those who love His name shall dwell in it.

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment.

But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it dawned upon the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

We love Him because He first loved us.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;

to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

(for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),

and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand unto glory,

whom He also called, not only of us Jews, but also of the Gentiles?

And the land shall tremble and writhe. For every purpose of Jehovah shall be fulfilled against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a waste without inhabitant.

Now when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the Word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed unto eternal life believed.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace,

having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might sum up in one all things in Christ, both which are in Heaven and which are on earth; in Him.

according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

But we owe thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,

to which He called you through our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands firm, having this seal: The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
