“And therefore "in all these things," he says, "we overcome," not by our own strength, but "through him who loved us." For while we hang upon his love, we do not receive the sensation of pain. For his love, by which he loved us, and which has caught up our affection to himself, makes us not feel the torture of the body…”
Origen of Alexandria, 3th c. — COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS

In context
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
— Romans 8:37 —
38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
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.
