29 For whom (A)He foreknew, (B)He also predestined (C)to be conformed to the image of His Son, (D)that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also (E)called; whom He called, these He also (F)justified; and whom He justified, these He also (G)glorified.

God’s Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? (H)If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 (I)He who did not spare His own Son, but (J)delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? (K)It is God who justifies. 34 (L)Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, (M)who is even at the right hand of God, (N)who also makes intercession 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:

(O)“For Your sake we are killed all day long;

It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns?(N) No one. Christ Jesus who died(O)—more than that, who was raised to life(P)—is at the right hand of God(Q) and is also interceding for us.(R) 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?(S) Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?(T) 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[a](U)

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors(V) through him who loved us.(W) 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future,(X) nor any powers,(Y)
