Romans 8:28–39

²⁸And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose, ²⁹because those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be the firstborn among many brothers. ³⁰And those whom he predestined, these he also called, and those whom he called, these he also justified, and those whom he justified, these he also glorified.

Victory in Christ

³¹What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³²Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, together with him, freely give us all things? ³³Who will bring charges against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies. ³⁴Who is the one who condemns? Christ^d is the one who died, and more than that, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. ³⁵Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will affliction or distress or persecution or hunger or lack of sufficient clothing or danger or the sword? ³⁶Just as it is written,

“On account of you we are being put to death the whole day long;

we are considered as sheep for slaughter.”^e

³⁷No, but in all these things we prevail completely through the one who loved us. ³⁸For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
