Isa. 43:2• 2When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. (Isa. 43:2)
;
Matt. 7:24‑25• 24Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;
 25and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock. (Matt. 7:24‑25)
;
Rom. 8:28‑39• 28But we *do* know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.
 29Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be the firstborn among many brethren.
 30But whom he has predestinated, these also he has called; and whom he has called, these also he has justified; but whom he has justified, these also he has glorified.
 31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who against us?
 32He who, yea, has not spared his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him grant us all things?
 33Who shall bring an accusation against God's elect? It is God who justifies:
 34who is he that condemns? It is Christ who has died, but rather has been also raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.
 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
 36According as it is written, For thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter.
 37But in all these things we more than conquer through him that has loved us.
 38For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
 39nor 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. (Rom. 8:28‑39)

 9For, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not lust; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
 10Love works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore is the whole law. (Rom. 13:8‑10)
• 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.
