Romans 8:35

[Verses 35-38 form a chiasm framed by the idea that nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus! The central verse is verse 37.]
Who [then] can separate us from the [selfless, generous, and righteous] love of the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ)?
Suffering (distress, oppression, problems – a general word for difficulties),
or anxiety (distress, limitation – "narrow passage; a small, crowded area"),
or persecution [hostile and oppressive persecution with the aim of extermination],
or hunger (starvation),
or nakedness [lack of clothing; involuntary exposure],
or danger [when it is risky to confess Jesus],
or the sword [death threats or even execution]?
[Paul mentions seven sufferings that a believer may have to go through. All hardships bring a true believer closer to Jesus – he who knows what suffering is. The list increases in intensity and severity. Instead of writing "What shall separate," "Who shall separate" is used, which personifies the opposition, see verses 38–39. See also 2 Cor. 11:23–28; Rom. 5:3–4.]
