Rom 5:3 : 3 And{G1161} not{G3756} only{G3440} so, but{G235} we glory{G2744}{(G5736)} in{G1722} tribulations{G2347} also{G2532}: knowing{G1492}{(G5761)} that{G3754} tribulation{G2347} worketh{G2716}{(G5736)} patience{G5281};
Rom 8:17-18 : 17 And{G1161} if{G1487} children{G5043}, then{G2532} heirs{G2818}; heirs{G2818} of God{G3303}{G2316}, and{G1161} joint-heirs{G4789} with Christ{G5547}; if so be{G1512} that we suffer with{G4841}{(G5719)} him, that{G2443} we may be{G4888} also{G2532} glorified together{G4888}{(G5686)}. 18 For{G1063} I reckon{G3049}{(G5736)} that{G3754} the sufferings{G3804} of this present{G3568} time{G2540} are not{G3756} worthy{G514} to be compared with{G4314} the glory{G1391} which shall{G3195}{(G5723)} be revealed{G601}{(G5683)} in{G1519} us{G2248}.
Rom 8:35-39 : 35 Who{G5101} shall separate{G5563}{(G5692)} us{G2248} from{G575} the love{G26} of Christ{G5547}? shall tribulation{G2347}, or{G2228} distress{G4730}, or{G2228} persecution{G1375}, or{G2228} famine{G3042}, or{G2228} nakedness{G1132}, or{G2228} peril{G2794}, or{G2228} sword{G3162}? 36 As{G2531} it is written{G1125}{(G5769)},{G3754} For thy{G4675} sake{G1752} we are killed{G2289}{(G5743)} all{G3650} the day long{G2250}; we are accounted{G3049}{(G5681)} as{G5613} sheep{G4263} for the slaughter{G4967}. 37 Nay{G235}, in{G1722} all{G3956} these things{G5125} we are more than conquerors{G5245}{(G5719)} through{G1223} him that loved{G25}{(G5660)} us{G2248}. 38 For{G1063} I am persuaded{G3982}{(G5769)}, that{G3754} neither{G3777} death{G2288}, nor{G3777} life{G2222}, nor{G3777} angels{G32}, nor{G3777} principalities{G746}, nor{G3777} powers{G1411}, nor{G3777} things present{G1764}{(G5761)}, nor{G3777} things to come{G3195}{(G5723)}, 39 Nor{G3777} height{G5313}, nor{G3777} depth{G899}, nor{G3777} any{G5100} other{G2087} creature{G2937}, shall be able{G1410}{(G5695)} to separate{G5563}{(G5658)} us{G2248} from{G575} the love{G26} of God{G2316}, which is in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} our{G2257} Lord{G2962}.
Ps 47:9 : 9 The princes{H5081} of the people{H5971} are gathered together{H622}{H8738)}, even the people{H5971} of the God{H430} of Abraham{H85}: for the shields{H4043} of the earth{H776} belong unto God{H430}: he is greatly{H3966} exalted{H5927}{H8738)}.
Ps 73:18-20 : 18 Surely thou didst set{H7896}{H8799)} them in slippery places{H2513}: thou castedst them down{H5307}{H8689)} into destruction{H4876}. 19 How are they brought into desolation{H8047}, as in a moment{H7281}! they are utterly{H5486}{H8804)} consumed{H8552}{H8804)} with terrors{H1091}. 20 As a dream{H2472} when one awaketh{H6974}{H8687)}; so, O Lord{H136}, when thou awakest{H5782}, thou shalt despise{H959}{H8799)} their image{H6754}.
Job 21:11-13 : 11 They send forth{H7971}{(H8762)} their little ones{H5759} like a flock{H6629}, and their children{H3206} dance{H7540}{(H8762)}. 12 They take{H5375}{(H8799)} the timbrel{H8596} and harp{H3658}, and rejoice{H8055}{(H8799)} at the sound{H6963} of the organ{H5748}. 13 They spend{H3615}{(H8762)}{(H8675)}{H1086}{(H8762)} their days{H3117} in wealth{H2896}, and in a moment{H7281} go down{H2865}{(H8735)}{(H8676)}{H5181}{(H8799)} to the grave{H7585}.
