Romans 8:22-34

New King James Version

²² For we know that the whole creation ^(A)groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. ²³ Not only that, but we also who have ^(B)the firstfruits of the Spirit, ^(C)even we ourselves groan ^(D)within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the ^(E)redemption of our body. ²⁴ For we were saved in this hope, but ^(F)hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? ²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For ^(G)we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but ^(H)the Spirit Himself makes intercession ^[a]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. ²⁷ Now ^(I)He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints ^(J)according to the will of God.

²⁸ And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those ^(K)who are the called according to His purpose. ²⁹ For whom ^(L)He foreknew, ^(M)He also predestined ^(N)to be conformed to the image of His Son, ^(O)that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. ³⁰ Moreover whom He predestined, these He also ^(P)called; whom He called, these He also ^(Q)justified; and whom He justified, these He also ^(R)glorified.

God’s Everlasting Love

³¹ What then shall we say to these things? ^(S)If God is for us, who can be against us? ^32 (T)He who did not spare His own Son, but ^(U)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? ^(V)It is God who justifies. ^34 (W)Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, ^(X)who is even at the right hand of God, ^(Y)who also makes intercession for us.
