28 And we know that for those who love God [a](A)all things work together for good, for those who are (B)called according to His purpose. 29 Because those whom He (C)foreknew, He also (D)predestined to become (E)conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the (F)firstborn among many brothers; 30 and those whom He (G)predestined, He also (H)called; and those whom He called, He also (I)justified; and those whom He justified, He also (J)glorified.

God Is for Us

31 (K)What then shall we say to these things? (L)If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who indeed (M)did not spare His own Son, but (N)delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring a charge against (O)God’s elect? (P)God is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who (Q)condemns?

  1. Romans 8:28 Some mss God works all things together for good
  2. Romans 8:34 One early ms raised from the dead

28 We know that God works all things together for good for the ones who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 We know this because God knew them in advance, and he decided in advance that they would be conformed to the image of his Son. That way his Son would be the first of many brothers and sisters. 30 Those who God decided in advance would be conformed to his Son, he also called. Those whom he called, he also made righteous. Those whom he made righteous, he also glorified.

31 So what are we going to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He didn’t spare his own Son but gave him up for us all. Won’t he also freely give us all things with him?

33 Who will bring a charge against God’s elect people? It is God who acquits them. 34 Who is going to convict them? It is Christ Jesus who died, even more, who was raised, and who also is at God’s right side. It is Christ Jesus who also pleads our case for us.
