Romans 8:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 But he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the [a]meaning of the Spirit: for he maketh request for the Saints, [b]according to the will of God.
28 [c]Also we know that [d]all things work together for the best unto them that love God, even to them that are called of his [e]purpose.
29 For those which he knew before, he also predestinated to be made like to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
