for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them
as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not

which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection,
and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His
death..."

We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither
death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor
things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth,
nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. "

God's Omniscience
Make me a
captive, Lord, and then I shall be free.
Force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be.
I sink in life's alarms when by myself I stand.
Imprison me within Thine arms, and strong shall be my hand.
