35 Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction  * 8:35 Rm 2:9; 2Co 4:8 or distress or persecution  * 8:35 1Co 4:11; 2Co 11:26–27 or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:

Because of you

we are being put to death all day long;* 8:36 Ac 20:24; 1Co 4:9; 15:30–31; 2Co 1:9; 6:9; 11:23

we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.* 8:36 Ps 44:22,* 8:36 Is 53:7; Zch 11:4,7

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors  * 8:37 Jn 16:33; 1Co 15:57 through him who loved us.  * 8:37 Gl 2:20; Eph 5:2; Rv 1:5
