Romans 8:38

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

c. YLT: for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

d. Amplified Bible Classic:  For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,

e. Worrell Translation: For I am persuaded that, neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
