¹⁶ Eller huru låter ett Guds tempel förena sig med avgudar? Vi äro ju ett den levande Gudens tempel, ty Gud har sagt: »Jag skall bo i dem och vandra ibland dem; jag skall vara deras Gud, och de skola vara mitt folk.»

³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

³⁶ Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

³⁷ No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
