28And we know that in all things God works for the goodj of those who love him, whoi have been calledk according to his purpose.l 29For those God foreknewm he also predestinedn to be conformed to the image of his Son,o that he might be the firstbornp among many brothers and sisters. 30And those he predestined,q he also called;r those he called, he also justified;s those he justified, he also glorified.t

More Than Conquerors

31What, then, shall we say in response to these things?u If God is for us,v who can be against us?w 32He who did not spare his own Son,x but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any chargey against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who then is the one who condemns?z No one. Christ Jesus who dieda—more than that, who was raised to lifeb—is at the right hand of Godc and is also interceding for us.d 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?e Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?f 36As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;

we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”jg

37No, in all these things we are more than conquerorsh through him who loved us.i 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,k neither the present nor the future,j nor any powers,k 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of Godl that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.m
