28 | We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. |
29 | For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren. |
30 | And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified. |
31 | What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us? |
32 | He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him? |
33 | Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies; |
34 | who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us? |
35 | Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
36 | As it is written, "For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." |
37 | No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. |
38 | For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, |
39 | nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
