Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers—whether good or bad. But as the bad are not called "angels," or "principalities," or "powers," save with some addition to show that such are meant (Matthew 25:41; Colossians 2:15; Ephesians 6:12; II Peter 2:4 —except perhaps I Corinthians 6:3), probably the good are meant here, but merely as the same apostle supposes an angel from heaven to preach a false gospel. (So the best interpreters).
nor things present, nor things to come—no condition of the present life and none of the unknown possibilities of the life to come.
