Thematic Bible: Even under affliction


Thematic Bible



so that no one would be shaken by these persecutions, for which you are aware that we were destined.

All this came upon us, yet we did not forsake you, and we have not dealt falsely with your covenant; Our hearts have not turned away; our steps have not swerved from your path. Nevertheless, you crushed us in the lair of jackals, and covered us in deep darkness.

Who will separate us from the Messiah's love? Can trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or a violent death do this? As it is written, "For your sake we are being put to death all day long. We are thought of as sheep headed for slaughter." In all these things we are triumphantly victorious due to the one who loved us.
