28 We know that all things work together g for the good h of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose. i 29 For those He foreknew He also predestined j to be conformed to the image of His Son, k so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. l 30 And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also * justified; m and those He justified, He also glorified. n

The Believer’s Triumph

31 What then are we to say about these things? o

If God is for us, who is against us? p

32 He did not even spare His own Son q

but offered Him up for us all; r

how will He not also with Him grant us everything?

33 Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect? s

God is the One who justifies. t

34 Who is the one who condemns? u

Christ Jesus is the One who died, v

but even more, has been raised; w

He also is at the right hand of God x

and intercedes for us. y

35 Who can separate us from the love of Christ?

Can affliction z or anguish or persecution a

or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

36 As it is written:

Because of You

we are being put to death all day long; b

we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered. c d

37 No, in all these things we are more than victorious e

through Him who loved us. f

38 For I am persuaded that not even death or life, g

angels or rulers, h

things present or things to come, i hostile powers,

39 height or depth, or any other created thing

will have the power to separate us

from the love of God j that is in Christ Jesus our Lord! k
