SECURED IN CHRIST
For I am convinced that neither death
nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future, nor
any powers, 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.

31 What, then, shall we say in response

but gave Him up for us all—how will He
not also, along with Him, graciously
