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?

28 And we know that God causes everything to work together[a] for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn[b] among many brothers and sisters. 30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.

Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love

31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
