28 And we know that 1God causes aall things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are bcalled according to His purpose.

29 For those whom He aforeknew, He also bpredestined to become cconformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the dfirstborn among many brethren;

30 and these whom He apredestined, He also bcalled; and these whom He called, He also cjustified; and these whom He justified, He also dglorified.

31 aWhat then shall we say to these things? bIf God is for us, who is against us?

32 He who adid not spare His own Son, but bdelivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

33 Who will bring a charge against aGod’s elect? bGod is the one who justifies;

34 who is the one who acondemns? Christ Jesus is He who bdied, yes, rather who was 1craised, who is dat the right hand of God, who also eintercedes for us.

35 Who will separate us from athe love of 1Christ? Will btribulation, or distress, or cpersecution, or cfamine, or cnakedness, or cperil, or sword?

36 Just as it is written,

“aFor Your sake we are being put to death all day long;

We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly aconquer through bHim who loved us.

38 For I am convinced that neither adeath, nor life, nor bangels, nor principalities, nor athings present, nor things to come, nor powers,

39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from athe love of God, which is bin Christ Jesus our Lord.
