Is. 43:2• 2Cuando pasares por las aguas, yo seré contigo; y por los ríos, no te anegarán. Cuando pasares por el fuego, no te quemarás, ni la llama arderá en ti. (Is. 43:2)
;
Mt. 7:24‑25• 24Cualquiera, pues, que me oye estas palabras, y las hace, le compararé á un hombre prudente, que edificó su casa sobre la peña;
25Y descendió lluvia, y vinieron ríos, y soplaron vientos, y combatieron aquella casa; y no cayó: porque estaba fundada sobre la peña.
(Mt. 7:24‑25)
;
Ro. 8:28‑39• 28Y sabemos que á los que á Dios aman, todas las cosas les ayudan á bien, es á saber, á los que conforme al propósito son llamados.
29Porque á los que antes conoció, también predestinó para que fuesen hechos conformes á la imagen de su Hijo, para que él sea el primogénito entre muchos hermanos;
30Y á los que predestinó, á éstos también llamó; y á los que llamó, á éstos también justificó; y á los que justificó, á éstos también glorificó.
31¿Pues qué diremos á esto? Si Dios por nosotros, ¿quién contra nosotros?
32El que aun á su propio Hijo no perdonó, antes le entregó por todos nosotros, ¿ cómo no nos dará también con él todas las cosas?
33¿Quién acusará á los escogidos de Dios? Dios es el que justifica.
34¿Quién es el que condenará? Cristo es el que murió; más aún, el que también resucitó, quien además está á la diestra de Dios, el que también intercede por nosotros.
35¿Quién nos apartará del amor de Cristo? tribulación? ó angustia? ó persecución? ó hambre? ó desnudez? ó peligro? ó cuchillo?
36Como está escrito: Por causa de ti somos muertos todo el tiempo: Somos estimados como ovejas de matadero.
37Antes, en todas estas cosas hacemos más que vencer por medio de aquel que nos amó.
38Por lo cual estoy cierto que ni la muerte, ni la vida, ni ángeles, ni principados, ni potestades, ni lo presente, ni lo por venir,
39Ni lo alto, ni lo bajo, ni ninguna criatura nos podrá apartar del amor de Dios, que es en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro.
(Ro. 8:28‑39)
if a man.
 At the cross "the floods lifted up their voice," only to find that love divine is mightier than the noise of many waters. (Canticle 6: The Triumph of Love by H. Smith)
 Love cannot be bought. It is true Christ gave up, as it were, the "substance of His house"; He gave up kingdoms and thrones and crowns, but He gave more, He "gave Himself," and in giving Himself He proved His love, for "greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). (Canticle 6: The Triumph of Love by H. Smith)

Many waters cannot quench love, Neither do the floods drown it: Even if a man gave all the substance of his house for love, It would utterly be contemned.
