28 We know that all things work together[a] for the good[b] of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.(A) 29 For those he foreknew he also predestined(B) to be conformed to the image of his Son,(C) so that he would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.(D) 30 And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified;(E) and those he justified, he also glorified.(F)
The Believer’s Triumph
31 What, then, are we to say about these things?(G) If God is for us, who is against us?(H) 32 He did not even spare his own Son(I) but gave him up for us all.(J) How will he not also with him grant us everything? 33 Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect?(K) God is the one who justifies.(L) 34 Who is the one who condemns?(M) Christ Jesus is the one who died,(N) but even more, has been raised;(O) he also is at the right hand of God(P) and intercedes for us.(Q)

Romans 8:28-34
International Standard Version
28 And we know that for those who love God, that is, for those who are called according to his purpose, all things are working together[a] for good.
29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that the Son[b] might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined, he also called; and those whom he called, he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.
Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love
31 What, then, can we say about all of this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 The one who did not spare his own Son, but offered him as a sacrifice[c] for all of us, surely will give us all things, along with his Son,[d] won’t he? 33 Who will accuse God’s elect? It is God who justifies! 34 Who is the one to condemn? It is the Messiah[e] Jesus who is interceding on our behalf. He died, and more importantly, has been raised and is seated at the right hand of God.
