Quis separabit?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quis separabit? (Latin: Who will separate [us]?) is a motto of the Order of St. Patrick, The Royal Ulster Rifles and the Irish Guards.[1][2][3] It also appears on the Coat of arms of Northern Ireland.

It is also the motto of the Ulster Defence Association, a proscribed loyalist paramilitary group in Northern Ireland.[4] The source is the Vulgate translation of Romans, 8:35: "Quis nos separabit a caritate Christi...", translated as "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?".

It shows up on the Seal of South Carolina, for other reasons.
