Romans 8:34
32 He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?
33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36 As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
