Romans 838

Romans 8:38 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, specifically from the Epistle to the Romans written by the Apostle Paul. The verse reads: "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (English Standard Version). This verse is often interpreted as a powerful declaration of the security and permanence of God's love for believers. The Hebrew translation of this verse is complex due to the theological and linguistic nuances, but a rough translation might be: "כי מוחזק אני כי לא המוות ולא החיים לא מלאכים ולא שליטים לא מה שעתיד לבוא ולא מה שעתיד לעבור לא כוחות ולא גובה ולא תהום ולא כל בריאה אחרת תוכל להפריד אותנו מאהבת אלוהים שבאמינו ישוע המשיח אדוננו." The verse is significant in its context, as it follows a series of teachings by Paul on the assurance of salvation and the believer's victory over sin and suffering. The Greek text emphasizes the comprehensiveness of God's love, listing a series of opposites and extremes to underscore that nothing can separate believers from this love. This passage is often cited in Christian literature and sermons to comfort and encourage believers facing trials and hardships.
