Romans 8:37-39 AMP 

Yet in all these things, we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us so much that He died for us. For I am convinced and continue to be convinced-beyond any doubt that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, not depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the unlimited love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
