"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that 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 creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

THE KING JAMES BIBLE:

(Note: These verses are quoted in order to show that God promised to preserve His word in a perfect form for all generations, and that it must be available to us today. I believe the fulfillment of these promises is the King James Bible)

Bible verses:

Psalm 12:6-7
"The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."

Psalm 138:2
"I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name
for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth:
for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name."

Proverbs 30:5-6
"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar."

Isaiah 40:8
"The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever."

Matthew 24:35
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."

John 17:17
"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
