Romans 8:29-9:3

New International Version

²⁹For those God foreknew^(A) he also predestined^(B) to be conformed to the image of his Son,^(C) that he might be the firstborn^(D) among many brothers and sisters. ³⁰And those he predestined,^(E) he also called;^(F) those he called, he also justified;^(G) those he justified, he also glorified.^(H)

More Than Conquerors

³¹What, then, shall we say in response to these things?^(I) If God is for us,^(J) who can be against us?^(K) ³²He who did not spare his own Son,^(L) but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? ³³Who will bring any charge^(M) against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. ³⁴Who 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) ³⁵Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?^(S) Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?^(T) ³⁶As it is written:

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

³⁷No, in all these things we are more than conquerors^(V) through him who loved us.^(W) ³⁸For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,^[b] neither the present nor the future,^(X) nor any powers,^(Y) ³⁹neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God^(Z) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.^(AA)

Paul’s Anguish Over Israel

9 I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying,^(AB) my conscience confirms^(AC) it through the Holy Spirit— ²I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. ³For I could wish that I myself^(AD) were cursed^(AE) and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people,^(AF) those of my own race,^(AG)
