1 Paul s Compelling Speech Paul's rhetoric in 1 Cor 1:23 Unpacked by Michael Ramsden

2 Who shall separate us front the love of Christ? (Ques5on Posed) Shall trouble? or hardship or persecubon or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?... (RepeBBon) For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, (Contrast) nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all crea5on, (Climax) will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
