誰能使我們與基督的愛隔絕呢？是患難嗎？是困苦嗎？是迫害嗎？是飢餓嗎？是赤身露體嗎？是危險嗎？是刀劍嗎？正如經上所記: “為你的緣故，我們終日面對死亡，人看我們像待宰的羊。但靠著愛我們的那一位，我們在這一切事上就得勝有餘了。因為我深信：無論是死、是生，是天使、是掌權的，是現在的事，是將來的事，是有能力的，是高天的、是深淵的，或是任何別的被造之物，都不能叫我們與　神的愛隔絕，這愛是在我們的主耶穌基督裡的。

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long;     we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] 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.
