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? Christ Jesus is He who (R)died, yes, rather who was [b](S)raised, who is (T)at the right hand of God, who also (U)intercedes for us.

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.
