3 Not only that, but we ^wrejoice in our sufferings, ^xknowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and ^yhope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been ^zpoured into our hearts ^athrough the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

38 For I am sure that ^qneither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor ^rheight nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
